Germany, is looking for two research assistants (m/f/d) (1.0 EGr. 13
TV-L) for the "5G applications in Europe's steepest vineyards (smart
vineyard)" project and two research assistants (m/f/d) (1.0 EGr. 13
TV-L) for the "nomadic 5g networks for small-scale rural areas (NoLa)"
project as soon as possible.
The projects are funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and
Transport (BMDV) (NoLa subject to the final funding commitment).
Smart Vineyard: This project explores future-proof automation and
innovative technologies such as AI, IoT, image recognition, robotics and
big data to facilitate vineyard work. Specifically, holistic web-based
applications for businesses in the vineyard are being developed as
prototypes, which (partially) automate recurring activities of tillage,
defoliation and spraying in steep-slope viticulture using innovative
technologies. Data from the vineyard is transmitted in real time from
the local mobile network via 5G and an IoT sensor network to the data
center in Koblenz and evaluated, stored and processed in the central
data platform using intelligent algorithms and methods of image
processing, robotics, AI and machine learning. With the planned
applications, 5G mobile communications technology will be tested in
Europe's steepest vineyards. Piloting is being carried out in the Burg
Cochem cultivation area in the Cochem-Zell district in close cooperation
with the Steillagenzentrum of the DLR Mosel in Bernkastel-Kues.
The future employees should work in a research-oriented manner in
several of the following tasks:
- Methods of AI, data analysis and data visualization applied to
real-time data and sensor data
- Mobile 5G communication and IoT sensor networks including
applications, including cooperation with the project NoLa
- Conception and prototypical development of applications for an
AI-based vineyard information management (KIWI); app and web-based
- Writing reports and scientific publications
The two positions in the "Smart Vineyard" project can be filled
immediately, limited until November 16, 2024.
NoLa: "NoLa" is a sister project to "Smart Vineyard", submitted to the
InnoNT program of the BMDV. It researches a holistic approach for a
smart and flexible nomadic 5G supply in small-scale structured rural
areas. For this purpose, a nomadic 5G platform is designed, implemented
as a prototype and tested in actual operation in field studies. This
nomadic infrastructure is intended to provide winegrowers in steep-slope
viticulture with a needs-based, flexible, mobile 5G network supply
including a mobile edge cloud. For the design of this structure, ideal
supply concepts are to be researched and compared. In a first phase, a
flexible mobile network system is to be used for this purpose, which
enables several coverage concepts.
The future employees should work in a research-oriented manner in
several of the following tasks:
- Requirements and concept of 5G coverage in cooperation with the "Smart
Vineyard" project
- Performance specification and commissioning of the nomadic 5G network
- Construction of the nomadic system and commissioning in the vineyard
in cooperation with the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences
- Measurements, modeling and testing of the different supply variants
both in the laboratory and in the vineyard
- Requirements and concept for a (semi)automatic, API-based procedure
for issuing licenses for a 5G campus network
- Writing reports and scientific publications
- Project management and communication in practical and technical networks
- Research on economic considerations and possible operator models of
the different 5G variants
- Team collaboration and interface to the "Smart Vineyard" project
The two positions in the "NoLa" project can be filled from October 1st,
2023 until December 31st, 2024, subject to the final funding commitment.
Preparation of a funding application for financing a follow-up project
is planned in the course of the project.
More information is available from Prof. Dr. Maria A. Wimmer
(wimmer@uni-koblenz.de) or Prof. Dr. Frey (frey@uni-koblenz.de).
The application deadline for both projects is September 5th, 2023.
