Postdoc of Data Science

6 months ago


København, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

Background
At present, field phenotyping of complex traits associated with biomass development is a labor-intensive process, which often involves destructive measurements. Researchers and breeders are therefore interested in incorporating the use of automated, non-destructive, high-through-put field phenotyping methods into pre-breeding and breeding programs. The main advantage of automated systems is the ability of researchers and breeders to easily detect and evaluate dynamic traits, which have so far proven difficult, laborious or even impossible to measure by visual rating or destructive sampling.

The Section for Crop Sciences, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen (KU) has stablished advanced platforms for field phenotyping using proximal- and remote sensing at the research station Højbakkegaard, Taastrup. The postdoc will be responsible for carrying out the image analyses of data collected from high-through-put phenotyping platforms at PLEN and contribute to phenotyping research. The position is located at the Department’s experimental farm, Højbakkegaard, at Taastrup Campus. The position will require close collaboration with the plant scientists and technical staff involved in phenotyping projects as well as external collaboration with private breeding companies that are partners to the project. 

The postdoc’s duties will include research within image processing as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

Further information about the Department can be found at . Inquiries about the position can be made to head of the department, Svend Christensen.

The position is open from April 1, 2023,or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Job description
We are looking for a Data Science researcher with an interest in interdisciplinary research collaborations and a strong foundation in machine learning and image processing. Responsibilities of the position will include the following:

Participation in the development, implementation and management of software for high-through-put phenotyping (both image acquisition and analysis). Performing methodological research in image processing, 3D models, point clouds (from LiDAR and/or SFM), vegetation indices and plant morphologies. Preparing drafts and participating as author and co-author for technical documents, relevant scientific papers, conference paper, reports etc. focusing on research related to phenotyping research and activities at the Section for Crop Sciences. Participation in seminars, workgroups and meetings as a technical resource representative of the department. Guiding, training and supervising scientific staff and potentially breeders at private companies as necessary
