[Francophone] CDD Engineer position for large scale land cover mapping

[Mathieu Fauvel]

Dear Colleagues,

We have an open position entitled “Engineer position for large 
scale land cover mapping” at the CESBIO lab, to work in the iota^2 
(https://framagit.org/inglada/iota2/) processing chain, based on 
the OTB.

http://sites.ieee.org/france-grss/2018/12/20/engineer-position-for-large-scale-land-cover-mapping/

The primary mission of the recruit is to work on the development 
of new features for iota^2 . Two
important missing features will be considered:

1. Regression: The initial application of the chain was to 
classify land cover. However, there is a need to extend the chain 
to regression type problems for various applications (e.g., 
biodiversitymapping).
2. Object: Currently, the analysis is done at the pixel level, 
while in some applications, the parcel/field level is more 
appropriated. Therefore, object based analysis should be included 
in the chain. This part will be done in relation to work done by 
TETIS, CIRAD.

Another mission of the recruit will be to coordinate the different 
developments carried out by the partners. As such, other issues 
may emerge during the project.

The position is at the CESBIO-Lab, in Toulouse for 12 months (plus 
a possible extension of 12 months). The salary is approximately 
2000 euros per month, depending on the experience of the 
recruit. The position is open now and will remain open until the 
selection of a recruit.

The applicant must have a solid background in geomatics, 
geographic information systems, data bases, remote sensing and 
programming (Python). Experience in one or several of these fields 
and a good knowledge of English are required. Also, knowledge in 
distributed version-control systems will be appreciated.

The applicant should send a detailed CV, motivation letter, 
reference letters and, if possible, links to developed software to 
the contacts.
