Zürich, Schweiz Karlstad University Vollzeit
Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Vision

ETH Zürich is well known for its excellent education, ground-breaking fundamental research and for implementing its results directly into practice.

About the Role

Our research and teaching focuses on a better understanding of important processes on the Earth's surface and in the lithosphere. The Engineering Geology group at ETH Zurich (Prof. Jordan Aaron) is seeking a motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher who specializes in computer vision.

The position can commence as early as June 1st, 2025 (negotiable). The duration of the position is two years and can be extended depending on performance.

Improving our understanding of the mechanisms that govern landslide behavior is a core research topic in the Engineering Geology group at ETHZ. The group collects and analyses an unprecedented set of field and laboratory datasets, including timelapse point clouds, video imagery, total station and GNSS measurements, as well as climatic data. This data is processed to derive high temporal and spatial resolution estimates of displacement, velocity, strain, and surface change, as well as the driving mechanisms. A large foundational dataset has already been collected, presenting a unique opportunity for making new insights into landslide processes.

You will develop advanced algorithms to process this data, focusing on optical flow and object detection. You will interpret the results to better understand landslide mechanisms and contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the monitoring systems. Additionally, you will receive significant support to develop your own research ideas and apply for third-party funding. Contributions to teaching within the Engineering Geology group are also expected.

Profile
  • PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Remote Sensing, Engineering Geology, or other related disciplines
  • Demonstrated expertise in machine learning and computer vision algorithms is necessary, with an emphasis on object tracking, optical flow, and sensor fusion
  • Knowledge of rock mechanics, soil mechanics, and/or landslide processes is considered beneficial
  • Prior experience with point cloud processing is an asset
  • Ability to work independently
  • Strong written and oral communication skills in English
We Offer

We are an enthusiastic and collaborative research group with many opportunities for multi-disciplinary cutting-edge research in engineering geology. There are significant opportunities to broaden your research interests and develop your academic career.

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
