The Research Training Group (RTG) “Integrity and Collaboration in Dynamic Sensor Networks (i.c.sens)” invites applications for 9 positions of Doctoral Researchers (m/f/d) Navigation, Robotics, Computer Vision, Geoinformatics (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %) starting December 1, 2019. The positions are limited to 3 years.
The Research Training Group is dedicated to investigating techniques that can ensure the error-free operation of technology in the context of the ever-increasing interactions between humans and robots. Many tasks are better solved in collaboration of such systems rather than by each system separately. In the future, collaborative sensor networks that can guarantee integrity will be core components of automated or autonomous vehicles, but also of systems in the context of the fourth industrial revolution (“Industry 4.0”), in the construction industry and in service robotics. In particular, such groups of mobile and communicating sensors have to guarantee the integrity of their navigational information in order not to endanger their environment. A unique combination of experts at Leibniz Universität provides ideal conditions for the solution of the research problems to be tackled in the context of the RTG. PhD candidates will work on the methodological basis as well as on the implementation of concepts for integrity and collaboration for dynamic sensor networks in connection with digital maps.
Employment conditions
To qualify for the position, applicants should hold a M.Sc. degree in geodesy and geoinformatics, information technology, computer science, applied mathematics, aerospace engineering, robotics, or a related discipline. Furthermore, the ability for interdisciplinary and independent work as well as a very good command of the English language and a passion for learning German are required. Additional specific requirements are related to the topics of the individual PhD-projects.
Application Process
The supervisors of the Research Training Group will invite suitable candidates for an interview to be held on July 3, 2019 in Hannover, Germany or via Skype.
