PhD Positions - Remote Sensing for Precision Agriculture and Plant Phenotyping TU München
The Precision Agriculture Lab at Technical University of Munich (TUM) is seeking applications for Research Assistant positions (TV-L E13, 50%) for pursuing Ph.D. degree with a research focus on remote sensing for precision agriculture and plant phenotyping. The position is limited to 36 months. Extension is negotiable depending on funds. The Precision Agriculture Lab is newly established within the Department of Life Science Engineering, TUM School of Life Sciences. We conduct interdisciplinary research from a diversity perspective of precision agriculture (or precision/smart farming). We focus on studying plant-environment interactions and their control from multiple scales by applying and integrating a range of imaging, remote sensing, statistical modeling, and computational techniques. We are seeking creative candidates who are enthusiastic about interdisciplinary research in precision agriculture – For instance, using cutting-edge sensing and modeling techniques to quantitatively characterize crop stress response and field variability, plant traits, and biodiversity; studying the underlying eco-physiological and genetic basis; and formulating technical strategies for smart farming and sustainable agriculture. Candidates will have the opportunity to work within a stimulating research environment with an interdisciplinary team. The successful candidates will be employed by TUM. You will not only work on your doctoral dissertation but also perform a wide range of research and teaching tasks. You will produce project reports, present research findings in conferences, and publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
Requirements:
• Master's degree in remote sensing, agricultural science, ecology, geoinformation science, agricultural engineering, biosystems engineering, or related fields.
• Expertise in remote sensing, handling big data (e.g. spectral and spatial data analyses).
• Skills in programming (e.g., R/Python/Matlab) and image processing.
• Knowledge about precision agriculture, GIS, drones, plant phenotyping, biodiversity.
• Desirable to have experience in computer vision, machine learning and deep learning.
• Proficiency in English (both oral and writing skills).
• Motivation to perform field and lab work.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in an international and interdisciplinary team.
As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, TUM encourages application from women as well as from all others who would bring additional diversity to the university's research and teaching strategies. Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications.
Application:
To apply, please submit your application including the following documents: 1) letter of motivation, 2) CV, 3) copies of university degree certificates and transcripts, 4) names and contact information of three references. Please send you application in a single PDF file, with the subject format 'TUM Precision Agriculture PhD Position Application', to pa@wzw.tum.de by 15.09.2020 for full consideration. Interviews of invited candidates will be held at the end of September 2020.
