Conditions

Blocking requirements

  • Expérience requise : Hands-on experience with laser scanning (LiDAR) or imaging systems is an advantage

  • Diplôme MSc requis

    “MSc degree (completed or about to be completed) in geomatics, remote sensing, computer vision, robotics, computer science or a related field”

  • Disponibilité pour travail de terrain

    “willingness to do fieldwork on monuments is a must”

  • Soumission via portail uniquement

    “Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.”

  • Anglais excellent requis

    “excellent English”

  • Compétences en perception 2D/3D et apprentissage

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap here is “applications submitted through our online application portal”: an email or postal submission will not count, even with a strong file. The right signal to prepare is not only the degree, but a clear proof of 2D/3D perception work, with an actual result, a clean figure, and a cover letter showing what you can do on this project. Since the posting may close as soon as the position is filled or enough applications have been received, the complete file should be submitted without delay. Also check that you can commit to fieldwork on monuments before sending the application.

Dr Medard Kafoutchoni · PhD in Genetics & Bioinformatics · Scholarship Strategist.
