The DAAD and the Research Training Group “Integrity and Collaboration in Dynamic Sensor Networks” (www.icsens.uni-hannover.de) jointly award 2 full scholarships for doctoral studies financed by the DAAD Graduate School Scholarship Programme (GSSP). The scholarships will be awarded in 2019.

Desired Skills and Experience

We are looking for highly motivated international candidates with an outstanding M.Sc. degree in geodesy and geoinformatics, information technology, computer science, applied mathematics, 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.

Please take notice of the following requirements:

•  we only accept applications of foreign students. German applications will not be considered in the GSSP program,

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.

The offered projects of this GSSP-application cover almost all areas of interest of the research training group:

Project 1:  Integrity Monitoring for Network-RTK Systems

Project 2:  Quality Estimation of Multi-Sensor-Systems (MSS) in a collaborative network

Project 3: Collaborative positioning using imaging sensors

 Project 4: Combining probabilistic and interval-based error models for sensor fusion on mobile robots

Project 5: Integrity measures for hierarchical and incremental map data acquisition

Other topics in the context of the research training group are also welcome – if provided with a convincing research statement.

As an equal opportunities employer, Leibniz Universität Hannover intends to promote women in the context of statutory requirements. For this reason, suitably qualified women are specifically invited to apply. Equally qualified applicants with disabilities will be given preferential treatment.

Application process

Please send your application in German or English language in electronic form (PDF) until October 5th, 2018 to the following address: icsens@ife.uni-hannover.de.
