Closing Date: 21 October 2024 23:59 CET/CEST
Directorate: Earth Observation Programmes
Reporting to the Head of the Explore Office in the ESA F-lab, you will work in close cooperation with other staff in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes and in particular in the Earth System Science Hub.
You will be part of the ESA F-lab. Our mission is to accelerate the future of Earth Observation (EO) by embracing disruptive innovation and serve as a catalyst for disruptive and transformative innovation in the sector.
Our vision is to become an EO innovation hub, connecting EO with a growing ecosystem of disruptive and transformative innovation, including AI, machine learning, quantum computing and edge computing. Many of the challenges posed by new digital technologies need to be tackled at scientific, application and capability levels to deliver the maximum value from satellite-derived EO assets for our climate, society, and economy.
This fellowship is a collaboration between the ESA F-lab and the Earth System Science Hub to explore the use of space EO products and advanced AI techniques to advance Earth system science and predictive capabilities for the Earth system and climate research.
In particular, you will:
undertake advanced research activities exploring and expanding the use of disruptive and transformative innovation such as AI, ML, quantum computing and edge computing to develop new frameworks and solutions. Research may cover a wide range of innovative topics, from the development of novel methods, algorithms and ML iterative pipelines to high-level products;contribute to the development and curation of open data sets and tools enabling the community to develop its own AI for applications and research;support the definition and implementation of rapid prototyping activities, research sprints and open challenges of innovative EO solutions addressing upcoming lab activities and wider strategy;engage with the innovation ecosystem to promote the uptake of new techniques and capture the latest developments in EO and disruptive/transformative innovation;publish the research project outcomes in high-impact journals;drive collaboration within the F-lab community and ESA internal teams to promote the uptake of these new techniques and solutions;contribute to the F-lab strategy, activities, and outreach on disruptive technologies for EO;maintain a continuous dialogue with the scientific community, including major international programmes and initiatives in the fields of AI, ML, quantum computing and edge computing;support the F-lab's research network of Young Graduate Trainees, National Trainees, Interns, and Visiting Researchers, as applicable. Minimum RequirementsYou should have completed within the past five years or be close to completing a PhD in a relevant field, such as data science, AI, computer science, machine learning, Earth system science or climate studies, with a thesis subject relevant to the description of the tasks outlined above.
You should also have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multi-cultural environment, both independently and as part of a team.
Additional RequirementsIn addition to your CV and cover letter, please prepare a research proposal of no more than five pages. Your proposal should be uploaded to the "Additional documents" field of the "Application information" section.
sound knowledge of themes of interest, such as EO, AI, ML, quantum computing, ICT revolution technologies and edge computing;the ability to think outside the box and explore new avenues, with natural curiosity and a passion for new subjects and research areas;the ability to work in a multicultural environment as part of a team;experience with one or more general purpose programming languages, for example Python, and general purpose deep learning frameworks, such as Tensorflow or PyTorch;the ability to share knowledge with other ESA units. The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.
