Scientist (f/m/x) for Data Engineering and environmental monitoring/-modelling
The job
In the Environmental Sensor and Information Systems working group of the Department of Monitoring and Exploration Technologies, methods and procedures for monitoring terrestrial systems are developed and implemented in application projects with regard to digital transformation. For the development of AI-based traffic control in urban systems, the AIAMO project aims to implement highly scaled sensor networks for recording air quality and to develop and provide a digital twin for environmental data from the data and data fusion with secondary data.For this purpose, we are looking for the next possible date in the Monitoring and Exploration Technologies (MET) unit in the AIAMO research project at the UFZ for a Scientist (f/m/x) for Data Engineering and environmental monitoring/-modelling.
