Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V.
Through cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) solves some of the pressing societal and industrial challenges of our time. Join our 1.500 employees from more than 50 nations at one of our six research sites and help us moving research to the next level!
The Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) is a German-Polish research center for data-intensive digital systems research. CASUS was founded in 2019 in Görlitz and conducts digital interdisciplinary systems research in various fields such as earth systems research, systems biology and materials research.
CASUS together with the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HZDR-HIF) is looking for a PostDoc (f/m/d) Aircraft development for realtime adaptive surveying with UAV swarm. The position will be available at the earliest possible date. The employment contract is limited to two years.
The Scope of Your Job:
Within the scope of the advertised position, methods for autonomous multi-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) for the characterization of inaccessible targets are to be researched. The research work is carried out in close cooperation with the Center for Advanced System Understanding (CASUS), Görlitz, and the Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie, Institute of Industrial Information Technology (KIT-IIIT).
The Post-Doc will be financed by CASUS Open Projects program and will work closely with HZDR-HIF, KIT-IIIT and CASUS (including long term visits) carried out mainly from Freiberg.
