About this position
The University of Hamburg’s Department of Informatics is recruiting a Research Associate for the Computer Vision Group in the project “Fly Low and Stitch: drone-based image generation for inventory management, process monitoring, and crisis management in ports.”
The researcher will contribute to the project’s subproject on route planning, algorithmic generation of georeferenced aerial maps, and application-specific image analysis. The work extends the group’s InteGreatDrones research and addresses practical challenges in using drones for port environments.
The research and development focus includes computer vision, particularly object detection, image segmentation, and optical character recognition, together with robot vision for drone-based route planning and aerial map generation. The role offers an opportunity to develop and apply machine learning and deep-learning methods to visual data obtained in complex operational settings.
The position is based in the Computer Vision Group at the University of Hamburg. In addition to research, the successful candidate will co-supervise students and may contribute to teaching within the Department of Informatics. The role is suitable for researchers interested in applied artificial intelligence, autonomous aerial systems, visual perception, and digital solutions for logistics and crisis-management contexts.
The appointment is a full-time research associate position that may be carried out part-time, with the possibility of pursuing further academic qualifications outside the assigned work responsibilities.
