Are you interested in #sensing_technologies and enjoy using models and working in exciting environments to apply #data_science?
We are #recruiting 2 PhD students for our new project “Digital technologies to Increase the Sustainability of African Livestock systems under climate risks (DISAL)”. This is a collaboration between Technical University of Munich, The University of Queensland and International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) aiming to quantify the value of emerging digital technologies to guide on-farm and landscape decisions in the livestock sector. DISAL will explore in particular sensing technology (drones) to monitor biomass, emissions and biodiversity, and ear tags to monitor cattle movements. Production models (crop, grassland and livestock), economic models and data science will help us assess millions of farming options under a range of future climate and market scenarios.
One PhD position will be based in the Munich area in Germany: https://lnkd.in/dMhsDWx7
And the other PhD position will be based in Brisbane, Australia: https://lnkd.in/dKiRnF5P
There is travel between these countries and to conduct field work in #Kenya.
