ZAMĚSTNÁNÍ

Professor of Spatial Information Engineering

The Department of Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (D-BAUG) invites applications for a professorship in Spatial Information Engineering. The professorship carries out research in spatial information technologies and spatial data modelling with a focus on new semantic models. Further research activities cover the conception and development of embedded technology relying on spatial information, e.g. for mobile and navigation devices, and of processing of data generated by sensor networks. The professorship is involved in the emerging development of national and transnational geo-data infrastructures and related geo-data processing services. Another field of interest is the development of new generic concepts, algorithms and methods for processing, and analysis of spatial information in areas such as environmental and infrastructure monitoring, risk analysis, and social sciences. The successful candidate holds a PhD degree, preferably in Geomatics/Geodesy or in related fields, and has postdoctoral and/or industry/agency experience in Spatial Information Engineering. He or she should have a record of outstanding scientific achievements and present a well-developed, novel, and creative research program as well as being clearly committed to research in an interdisciplinary environment. Cooperation with national and international industrial partners and other organizations is also important. The new professor will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English). Please submit your application with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a table of performed projects, and an outline of future teaching and research plans to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler, Raemistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland, no later than November 30, 2009. With a view towards increasing the proportion of female professors, ETH Zurich specifically encourages female candidates to apply.

Please feel free to spread this announcement further or to report any potential candidates to me. With my best regards, Lorenz HURNI
