This Postdoctoral Fellow position is a 12-month appointment and has the potential for renewal contingent upon performance and funding.\nUICII advances production-scale intelligent infrastructure systems deployed across real-world environments in partnership with municipal and industry collaborators. These deployments provide a rare opportunity to construct digital twins grounded in operational infrastructure, live data, and scalable computation.\nThis position is not focused on conventional GIS visualization. It centers on building rigorous, high-fidelity, georeferenced 3D environments that serve as the structural backbone for analytics, simulation, and next-generation interactive systems.\nPosition Responsibilities\nArchitect and implement large-scale, georeferenced 3D digital twin models\n\nDevelop computational pipelines for integrating vector, raster, terrain, LiDAR, and photogrammetric data\n\nDesign procedural modeling frameworks for district- and campus-scale built environments\n\nProduce interoperable assets (e.g., 3D Tiles, glTF, FBX) supporting downstream simulation platforms\n\nContribute to research proposals and peer-reviewed publications\n\nPrimary Platforms May Include\nArcGIS Pro\n\nCityEngine\n\nPython-based geospatial processing ecosystems\n\nCesium and 3D Tiles streaming architectures\n\nGenerative AI Integration\nGenerative procedural urban modeling and rule induction\n\nSemantic enrichment and automated feature extraction\n\nReconstruction or inference of structural detail from sparse spatial inputs\n\nIntegration of foundation or multimodal models into geospatial production workflows\n\nMinimum Qualifications:\n• Ph.D. in Geomatics, Spatial Computing, Computer Science, or a closely related fieldDemonstrated expertise in 3D geospatial modeling and computational spatial data processing\nStrong proficiency in Python and scalable data pipeline development\nExperience working with LiDAR, elevation models, photogrammetry, and large spatial datasets\nEvidence of research productivity\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience designing procedural modeling systems\nFamiliarity with Cesium, 3D Tiles, or geospatial streaming frameworks\nExperience preparing geospatial assets for real-time or simulation environments\n• Background in distributed or high-performance computing systems\nSalary:\n$60,000.00 - $70,000.00College or Department:\nUbicquia Innovation Center for Intelligent Infrastructure (UICII)Location:\nBoca RatonWork Days and Hours:\nN/AApplication Deadline:\n2026-05-25Special Instructions to Applicant:\nThis is a research or research-related support position. As required by Florida Statutes Section 1010.35, a Foreign Influence Screening may be required.This position is open until filled and may close without prior notice.\nThis position is subject to funding.\nAll applicants must apply electronically to the currently posted position on the Office of Human Resources' job website (https://fau.edu/jobs) by completing the required employment application for this recruitment and submitting the related documents.\nRequired Documents:\nFAU’s Career Page permits the attachment of required/requested documentation.\nPLEASE NOTE: A maximum of five (5) documents may be attached to your application. If more than five (5) documents are required for submission, please combine additional documents into a single attachment to not exceed the maximum permitted.\nThe site permits the attachment of required/requested documentation.
