Open Positions

Research Associate

The Big Data Analytics for Earth Observation group at the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data seeks to employ a postdoctoral researcher to work on an ERC-funded project in the field of AI Agents for Earth observation. The selected candidate will conduct research in generative, multimodal, and agentic AI for Earth observation. In addition, they will develop and test a vision-language agent designed to facilitate a seamless interaction with the vast Earth observation data of the satellite data archives. Using natural language or images, the agent will provide answers to specific questions on environmental and climate issues. Besides conducting research and development, the selected candidate will have duties on the coordination and management of this ERC-funded research project.
