Research Associate

**Research Associate (M/F/d) in the field of Digital and Additive Construction, in particular on Quality Control (75% EG 13 TV-L)**:
**Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry**

With more than 16,000 students and 3,800 employees, the Technische Universität Braunschweig is one of Germany´s leading institutes of technology. It stands for strategic and performance-oriented thinking and acting, relevant research, committed teaching, and the successful transfer of knowledge and technologies to the economy and society. We consistently advocate for family friendliness and equal opportunities.

Our research focuses are mobility, engineering for health, metrology, and city of the future. Strong engineering and natural sciences are our core disciplines. These are closely interconnected with economics, social and educational sciences and humanities.

Our campus is located in the midst of one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe. We work successfully together with over 20 research institutions in our neighborhood as we do with our international partner universities.

Starting from January 2025, the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry is looking for a

**Research Associate (M/F/d) in the field of Digital and Additive Construction, in particular on Quality Control**
**(EG 13 TV-L, 75%)**

The position is to be filled on a fixed-term basis for 3 years. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to pursue a doctorate.

The _Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry (IGP)_ _performs research and education in many different fields of Photogrammetry, Engineering Surveying, Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics. Being anchored in the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, our focus is on interdisciplinary research, for instance, in digital construction.

The _Collaborative Research Centre TRR277_ „Additive Manufacturing in Construction - The opportunity for large impact“ is a DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre that has set itself the goal of significantly shaping the transformation of the construction industry into a digital and sustainable future. The focus is on using 3D printing technology (additive manufacturing) to develop resource-saving, low-emission, and economical construction methods. Complex research questions on materials, material savings, process engineering, digital process control, modelling, design, and construction are examined holistically by scientists from different engineering disciplines.

The sub-project where IGP is involved addresses various questions in the field of engineering geodesy and photogrammetry, aiming at innovative quality and process control. The IGP is also involved in the newly created "_Digital Construction Site_" (DCS) research infrastructure, which offers ideal conditions for research into innovative technologies.

**Your tasks: You will**
- Conduct research on "Digital and additive manufacturing" at IGP with the support of TRR277
- Work in interdisciplinary research teams
- Publish research results in (inter)national journals and participate in conferences
- Aim to write a dissertation.

**Your Qualifications: You have**
- Sound knowledge in laser scanning, photogrammetry, image processing and machine learning, including deep learning
- Sound programming skills
- Willingness to work and actively participate in an interdisciplinary team of scientists
- Scientific curiosity and the determination to work towards a doctorate in this field
- Proficiency in written and spoken English. Knowledge of German is an advantage.
