DLR-DAAD Doctoral Fellowship Nr. 631: Transfer Learning for Variable Underwater Sensor Setups

Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

Our Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures in Bremerhaven offers a

Nr. 631: Transfer Learning for Variable Underwater Sensor Setups

What to expect:

The safety and security of critical infrastructures is an essential foundation for the economic prosperity and stability of governments and societies. The Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures focuses on this challenge and develops new concepts, approaches and technologies that may be used to analyse and enhance the safety and security of maritime infrastructures regarding people, technologies and systems.The Situational Awareness and Cybersecurity Group at the Department of Maritime Security Technologies develops methods for processing and handling of data for novel situational awareness concepts, with a strong focus on machine learning technologies to enable operators to handle large amounts of incoming sensor data.

Join our interdisciplinary research team and develop next-generation security technologies with us! This fellowship focuses on the core question of portability of deep learning algorithms for the processing of underwater sensor data. While deep learning algorithms produce impressive results, they require very large training data sets, which is an issue for fields that cannot easily create vast amounts of data or often alter sensors, such as underwater applications.

In this position, you will

The Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures has committed to principles of open source and open data, allowing results of our research to be
published openly when possible.

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
