Our team and mission
Reporting to the Head of the Explore Office in the ESA Φ-lab, you will work in close cooperation with other staff in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. You will also cooperate with scientists and engineers from EOP-FA (the System Architect Office) at ESTEC, and potentially with staff in other parts of ESA.
You will be part of the ESA Φ-lab, whose mission is to accelerate the future of Earth Observation via transformative innovation and commercialisation actions strengthening ESA Member States' world-leading competitiveness.
Our vision is to be the "EO innovation hub" connecting EO with a growing ecosystem of disruptive and transformative innovations such as AI, machine learning,
quantum computing, edge computing, metamaterials and photonics. Many of the challenges posed by new technologies need to be tackled at scientific, application and capability levels to deliver the maximum value from satellite-derived EO assets for our climate, society and economy. The Φ-lab brings together early career and senior researchers from a variety of disciplines across EO in pursuit of disruptive/transformative innovation to contribute to the development of novel EO solutions.
We Offer
a stimulating multinational, interdisciplinary and open work environment;
access to high-performance computing infrastructure and unparalleled EO and technology expertise;
a unique opportunity to work on innovative solutions to address global challenges;
freedom and focus to conduct creative research while making an impact in relation to ESA's strategy;
a wide network of relationships and collaborati
