Offer Description

Posdoctorand 2, Expert Machine and Deep Learning pentru date EO, Proiect specific 1 AI4DTE

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoc to contribute to our interdisciplinary research efforts. The candidate will be instrumental in designing, developing, and programming advanced DNNs and AI algorithms. The focus of the research will be on extracting meaningful insights from satellite Earth observation (EO) data, developing novel DNN architectures for bi-temporal change detection, and devising innovative approaches for multimodal image registration

The open position (job) is within a project financed within Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan,

Pillar III.Smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, including economic cohesion, jobs, productivity, competitiveness, research, development, and innovation, and a well-functioning internal market with strong small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Component C9.Support for the private sector, research, development and innovation,Investment I5.Establishment and operationalization of competence centers,

Project name: Digital Twin Earth Intelligence for Climate Changes (DTEClimate), CF 760008/30.12.2022, cod 7/16.11.2022. Specific project 1: AI for Digital Twin Earth (AI4DTE).

The main goal of DTEClimate project is to maximize the information extracted from EO data by extracting sensor information and generating actionable, uniform, accurate, complete physical parameters layers that is collected and interpolated globally and unceasing by a cohesive use of EO sensors at maximal joint valorization of Copernicus Sentinels, Earth Explorer, and ESA contributing missions. The methodology is focused on hybrid Physics Informed AI methods, time series, prediction, causality discovery, data analytics, advanced visualization to monitor and forecast natural and human activity in support of sustainable development, and resilience to climate change effects. The new methods will be implemented in a system developed in AI4DTE project
