As part of the team, you develop a visible, application-oriented profile in research and teaching. You will specifically shape the following areas:

Establishment and further development of the "Photogrammetric Computer Vision" department
Research along the process chain from data acquisition using imaging sensors through 3D reconstruction to the interpretation of spatial data
Development of robust methods for kinematic and near real-time applications as well as for the integration of image, navigation and other sensor data
Targeted use of artificial intelligence methods in all steps of the process chain
Acquisition, management and implementation of third-party funded projects (e.g. Innosuisse, SNF, EU)
Building and leading your own research group as well as active publication activity
Designing and conducting courses at bachelor, master and continuing education levels
Further development of the curriculum and linking research and teaching
Collaboration with adjacent departments such as Geosensing, Geoinformatics, Spatial Data Science and Geovisualisation
Participation in the strategic further development of the institute as well as taking on leadership tasks

Your profile:

You are a professionally recognised individual with interest and proven performance in application-oriented research, committed teaching and interdisciplinary collaboration. You combine expertise in photogrammetry and computer vision with a strong practical orientation and the motivation to actively further develop the department in research, teaching and within the institute.

University degree in Geomatics or a related field, ideally with a doctorate
Sound knowledge and practical experience in photogrammetry and computer vision, especially in the processing and evaluation of image, LiDAR and other 3D data
Experience with modern imaging sensor systems and in the integration of image, navigation and geodata
Proven success in application-oriented research and in the acquisition and implementation of third-party funded projects
Teaching experience as well as higher education didactic qualification or willingness to acquire it
Strong national and international network in geomatics (industry, administration and/or research)
Very good German and English skills for secure communication in teaching, research and collaboration

Applications may include a portfolio of relevant projects and publications (e.g. website, GitHub)

The uniqueness of FHNW is reflected in the combination of teaching and application-oriented research as well as collaboration with practice. The complementary perspectives enable a differentiated understanding and action in a rapidly changing world. Exchange and collaboration are paramount.
