Presentation
The Institute of earth surface dynamics of the Faculty of geosciences and environment opens a position of Postdoctoral researcher in spatial data science and algorithm development.
Image analysis and generation is increasingly used in several domains of Earth and Environmental sciences. Among the popular techniques, generative neural networks and geostatistics have proven useful when applied to hydroclimatic and remote sensing data. Those methods are often used as black boxes that are very efficient to generate realistic images of Earth surface processes (e.g. images of land and vegetation cover, spatial distribution of temperature and moisture). However, despite being statistically sound, the generated images are often difficult to interpret in terms of physical processes.
This position is part of a SNSF research project aimed at generating synthetic spatial data. The work will focus on developing interpretable metrics that enable quantifying the quality of the synthesized data, and that allow using simulated images for process discovery.
Job information
Expected start date in position : 01.01.2024 or to be agreed
Contract length : 2 years
Activity rate : 100%
Workplace : Lausanne Mouline, Geopolis building
Your qualifications
The chosen candidate will have a PhD degree in environmental science, remote sensing, applied mathematics/statistics, computer engineering, computer vision, or a related domain.
A requirement for this position is a good base in applied mathematics and programming, demonstrated through academic works. Knowledge in geostatistics (in particular multiple-point geostatistics), machine learning or computer vision, experience in designing algorithms for handling climate or remote sensing datasets, are advantages. Excellent skills in written and oral English are required.
What the position offers you
We offer a nice working place in a multicultural, diverse and dynamic academic environment. Opportunities for professional training, a lot of activities and other benefits to discover.
