Geospatial data, especially those obtained through various types of remote sensing, and data infrastructures are playing an increasingly important role for the digital transformation of society, businesses, inc. agricultural ones, and government in this domain. At the same time, there is a clear need to consider and deal with these infrastructures in the context of wider data ecosystems and further investigate their evolution into what are often called data spaces and considering artificial intelligence. Moreover, the functioning and sustainability of these infrastructures will strongly depend on the digital skills and competences of their users. Education and training programmes but also the labour market need to adapt to new and emerging skills needs. The selected research manager will further advance the research and applications on the link between geospatial data, infrastructures on the one hand and the digital transformation of the environmental sector, government and society on the other hand. Thereby, the research manager will attract, initiate and coordinate new research, consultancy and capacity building projects. You will fit the SADL- team if you are an experienced researcher with a track record and a keen interest in the institutional and policy aspects of geospatial data and data infrastructures but foremost in the technical aspects, and are eager to work in an international setting.
