Internal Research Fellow (PostDoc) in xAI and Decision Intelligence for EO Resilience applications

Reporting to the Head of the Explore Office in the ESA Φ-lab, you will work in close cooperation with other staff in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. You will be part of the ESA Φ-lab. Our mission is to accelerate the future of Earth observation (EO) by embracing disruptive innovation and acting as the catalyst for disruptive/transformative innovation in the sector. Our vision is to become an “EO innovation hub” connecting EO with a growing ecosystem of disruptive and transformative innovation such as AI, ML, quantum computing, edge computing, metamaterials, photonics, etc. Many of the challenges posed by new technologies still need to be tackled at scientific, application and capability levels to deliver the maximum value from satellite-derived EO assets for our climate, society and economy. The Φ-lab will bring together early career and senior researchers from a variety of disciplines across EO and disruptive/transformative innovation to contribute to the development of innovative EO solutions.
