PhD student position in GIScience 

The PhD student in the doctoral program Crowdanalyser 
(http://crowdanalyser.uni-hd.de/) at Heidelberg University will 
investigate the challenges, possibilities and limitations of 
crowdsourcing 3D geoinformation, e.g. extracted indirectly from 
OpenStreetMap and captured directly as 3D point clouds by low-cost 
mobile sensors. 

The objective of the graduate school granting the scholarship is to 
develop novel methods towards the quality-oriented analysis and 
exploration of crowdsourced Web 2.0 data (such as OpenStreetMap, Flickr, 
Twitter, Social Networks etc.). Crowdanalyser is a joint Research 
Training Group between the Institute of Computer Science and the 
Geoinformatics Research Group (http://giscience.uni-hd.de/), Department 
of Geography at Heidelberg University, affiliated with the 
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR). The thesis will 
be supervised by Bernhard Höfle and Alexander Zipf. 

Scholarships are 1200 Euro per month plus 110 Euro per month for travel 
and other costs. Further criteria and information on the scholarship is 
given by the Graduate Academy 
(http://www.graduateacademy.uni-heidelberg.de/) of the Heidelberg University. 

Requirements 
- MSc in Computer Science, Geoinformatics, Geography, or related area 
- Background in one or more of the following areas: volunteered 
geographic information (VGI), 3D object detection and modeling, 3D point 
cloud analysis, multi-sensor geodata fusion, 3D web technology (e.g. 
services and computer graphics) 
- Demonstrated strong programming experience (preferably in C/C++ and 
Python) 
- Excellent English skills (written and oral), Excellent communication & 
organizational skills 

Applications shall be directed to Ms. Bettina Knorr 
(bettin... la geog.uni-heidelberg.de, giscience.uni-hd.de) until 30 
October 2013 in digital form (one PDF document). The application shall 
include a detailed CV including grades, technical expertise, two letters 
of recommendation from former supervisors/professors and list of 
publications. Furthermore, the application shall include a short 
motivation statement (one page) addressing the PhD topic “Crowdsourcing 
of 3D Geoinformation”. 

The selection of the scholarship holder will be based on quality of the 
candidates. The Heidelberg University is an equal opportunity employer. 
In case of equality of qualification and suitability of applicants, the 
applications made by female researchers will be given preferential 
consideration. Handicapped applicants will be treated preferentially if 
equally qualified. The graduate college aims at providing best
