The Research Training Group (RTG) “Integrity and Collaboration in Dynamic 
Sensor Networks (i.c.sens)” invites applications for  positions of

________________________________
Doctoral Researchers (m/f/d) Navigation, Robotics, Computer Vision, 
Geoinformatics (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %)
________________________________

starting December 1, 2019. The positions are limited to 3 years.

The Research Training Group is dedicated to investigating techniques that can 
ensure the error-free operation of technology in the context of the 
ever-increasing interactions between humans and robots. Many tasks are better 
solved in collaboration of such systems rather than by each system separately. 
In the future, collaborative sensor networks that can guarantee integrity will 
be core components of automated or autonomous vehicles, but also of systems in 
the context of the fourth industrial revolution (“Industry 4.0”), in the 
construction industry and in service robotics. In particular, such groups of 
mobile and communicating sensors have to guarantee the integrity of their 
navigational information in order not to endanger their environment. A unique 
combination of experts at Leibniz Universität provides ideal conditions for the 
solution of the research problems to be tackled in the context of the RTG. PhD 
candidates will work on the methodological basis as well as on the 
implementation of concepts for integrity and collaboration for dynamic sensor 
networks in connection with digital maps

We offer an attractive position in an interdisciplinary team working in a 
highly relevant topical field of research, which provides excellent 
opportunities for further professional qualification. The structured 
supervision program is designed to allow for a graduation within three years.

Employment conditions

To qualify for the position, applicants should hold a M.Sc. degree in geodesy 
and geoinformatics, information technology, computer science, applied 
mathematics, aerospace engineering, robotics, or a related discipline. 
Furthermore, the ability for interdisciplinary and independent work as well as 
a very good command of the English language and a passion for learning German 
are required. Additional specific requirements are related to the topics of the 
individual PhD-projects.

Part-time employment can be arranged on request.

As an equal opportunities employer, Leibniz University Hannover intends to 
promote women and men. For this reason suitably qualified women are 
specifically invited to apply. Preference will be given to equally qualified 
applicants with disabilities.

Application procedure

Applications have to include a CV, the full academic record (certificates, 
transcript of record of B.Sc. and M.Sc. or equivalent in English or German 
language), as well as a research statement (one page) indicating your specific 
interest in one of the  research 
topics<https://www.icsens.uni-hannover.de/gssp-project00.html?&L=1> of the RTG, 
highlighting your personal interest and strengths for a specific PhD topic, as 
well as initial research ideas concerning this topic.

 Please send your application in German or English language in electronic form 
(PDF) until August 19th, 2019 to:
