About this position
Inria is advertising a PhD position in spatio-temporal analysis of remote sensing data at large scales within the TITANE team at the Inria Centre at Université Côte d’Azur, based in Sophia Antipolis, France.
The project is part of the Digital Twin of France and its Territories (JUNN), co-led by IGN, Cerema, and Inria. The research focuses on leveraging large-scale airborne LiDARHD and satellite-derived digital surface models to analyze 3D urban change over time, with applications to updating city models and understanding long-term urban evolution.
Research topics include geometry processing, 3D computer vision, machine learning, statistical analysis, urban reconstruction, and planar shape detection. The PhD aims to develop efficient methods for detecting 3D changes using geometric primitives such as planes and 3D polygons, then analyzing their spatio-temporal distribution from city districts to the national scale.
Eligibility highlights: a graduate degree or equivalent, strong background in 3D geometry, computer vision, and machine learning, programming skills in C/C++ and Python, fluent English, and a creative, rigorous profile.
Funding: fixed-term PhD contract for 3 years with a gross salary of 2300 € per month. Benefits include subsidized meals, partial public transport reimbursement, teleworking/flexible hours, training access, and other staff benefits.
Deadline to apply: 2026-11-30. Applications must be submitted online through the Inria website.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
