*_Postdoc / Senior Researcher: OpenStreetMap Road Quality Analysis
_*__

*You are interested in enhancing methods for analyzing & improving 
OpenStreetMap data? You are an experienced Spatial Data Scientist 
innovating geoinformatics methods & workflows?**You have profound 
hands-on experience on contributing to & working with OpenStreetMap 
(OSM) data?*

We are looking as soon as possible for a senior researcher / Postdoc 
(m/f/d) in the context of a project aiming at developing, evaluating & 
advancing methods & technologies for *OSM data quality analysis*. The 
application domain will be *routing & navigation*. The goal is to 
innovate robust & meaningful approaches for evaluating OSM data quality 
for transportation (fitness for purpose), which actually can be applied 
in practice. Ensuring transferability of the methods to usage around the 
globe is a key focus.

You will be working closely together with the teams at both the 
/GIScience Research Group/ at Heidelberg University, as well as the 
associated /Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology/ 
(_HeiGIT.org_). At HeiGIT a team is already working at developing a 
comprehensive open source framework for OSM data analysis 
(_ohsome.org_). This can be a base for further developments in the 
analysis of OSM data quality targeted to routing & navigation. In 
addition GIScience & HeiGIT jointly develop the open source OSM routing 
platform openrouteservice.org <https://openrouteservice.org%20g>which 
allows detailed insights & discussions about realizing OSM based 
mobility services.

*We offer*an attractive position (up to 100%, part time possible if 
preferred) in an interdisciplinary dynamic team and in a cutting-edge 
research field. The department is, among others, a member of /the 
University's Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR)/ 
and a founding member of the /Heidelberg Center for the Environment 
(HCE)/. The affiliated institute /HeiGIT gGmbH/ translates the research 
into practical applications. The /Heidelberg University of Excellence 
/(top 3 national university ranking) offers a particularly stimulating 
interdisciplinary research environment in one of Germany's most 
attractive cities, with many attractive personal development & education 
opportunities.

*We expect*an PhD and above-average university degree preferably in one 
of the subjects such as geoinformatics, computer science, data science, 
geography or similar disciplines. In addition to a strong team spirit & 
high motivation, excellent & demonstrated broad methodological skills & 
research experience in GIScience are required, e.g. in topics such as 
Spatial Data Science & Machine Learning. In addition we expect a deep 
understanding of OSM, programming skills (e.g. Python, Java or R), the 
ability to work effective & efficient in a team, as well as excellent 
communication & presentation skills.

The position is to be filled as soon as possible and is initially 
limited to 3 years, with potential extension to 6 years. The 
remuneration is according to TV-L E13. Please send your meaningful 
application documents (cv, certificates, references, etc.) as soon as 
possible to _zipf at uni-heidelberg.de_.//

We are looking forward to your application!/*
