[Gfgi] Stellenausschreibung PostDoc in Geoinformatik, Universität Heidelberg

[Bernhard Höfle]

Position available: PostDoc Geoinformatics, Heidelberg University

A PostDoc position is available in the GIScience Research Group 
(http://uni-heidelberg.de/gis), Department of Geography of the 
Heidelberg University within a third-party funded research project at 
the intersection of 3D geodata processing and analysis of user-generated 
content (e.g. VGI). The GIScience Research Group has a strong emphasis 
on 3D data processing and analysis (including LiDAR research). The 
PostDoc should have a demonstrated research track in one or more of the 
following topics:

-    Crowdsourced and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)
-    Analysis and Modeling of 3D Geodata (e.g. point clouds)
-    Algorithms development for (3D) spatial analysis, geoprocessing and 
fusion of heterogeneous geoinformation (e.g. crowdsourced and VGI)

The position is initially funded for 3 years. Start in early 2015.

We expect a PhD in either Geoinformatics, Geography, Computer Science or 
related fields, as well as strong and demonstrated research experience 
and know-how in Geoinformatics / GIScience, paired with the ability for 
independent scientific work, as well as teamwork and leadership. Proven 
experience in the acquisition of third-party funding is an asset.

We offer an attractive job in an international and interdisciplinary 
dynamic team with excellent possibilities for research and further 
qualification. The GIScience Research Group is member in the 
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), the Heidelberg 
Center for the Environment and the Heidelberg Center for Cultural 
Heritage (HCCH). The University of Excellence Heidelberg belongs to the 
internationally top ranked universities and offers an especially 
stimulating research environment:

Please send the common documents (cover letter, CV incl. grades, 
publications and further scientific achievements) to Mrs. Bettina Knorr: 
Bettina.knorr at geog.uni-heidelberg.de (Managing Assistant of Prof. A. 
Zipf and Jun.-Prof. B. Höfle). Selection of candidates starts from 
January 2015 until the position is filled.
