Research Assistant

Within the framework of the DFG-funded project "Cart2Former – Generative Transformer Models for the Cartographic Generalization of Vector Data Incorporating Spatial-Semantic Context Information", you will conduct research on AI methods for the cartographic generalization of geographic vector data.

• Independent scientific work within the Cart2Former project
• Conceptualization, development, and implementation of novel transformer-based model architectures for geographic vector data
• Creation and preparation of training and benchmark datasets from heterogeneous geospatial data sources
• Training, evaluation, and benchmarking of the developed AI models
• Publication and presentation of research results at international conferences and in scientific journals
• Preparation of project reports and final reports

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom, or equivalent) in Geodesy/Geoinformatics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field
• Experience in the field of AI and deep learning, particularly with neural networks
• Proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Excellent programming skills in Python
• Solid knowledge of the processing and analysis of geospatial data
• Basic knowledge of cartography, particularly cartographic generalization, is an advantage
• Ability to conduct independent scientific research desirable
• Good skills in German and/or English language in speech and writing required; willingness to learn either English or German is expected
