Job Description
Postdoctoral Fellow (m/f/d) in remote sensing of lake tipping points
The aim of this position is to explore large Earth observation product archives and investigate variables featuring signals of shifts in aquatic ecosystems as well as shifts in environmental variables in the catchment that impact remotely sensed water quality variables.
The European Space Agencys Climate Change Initiative has compiled highquality datasets for a large number of Essential Climate Variables (ECV) for lakes and various other ecosystem types. In our project an international and interdisciplinary team of Earth observation experts and limnologists performs research on spatiotemporal features and environmental implications of ecosystem tipping points using these ECV datasets and complementary model simulations and observations. During two years our team will implement two case studies on selected lake regions while interacting with experts that implement comparable studies for other ecosystem types.
We are looking fora motivated person at the postdoc level who will be involved in the following tasks:
- Implementation and application of Earth observation algorithms
- Investigate and estimate Earth observation product uncertainties
- Data analysis interpretation and interdisciplinary communication
- Conducting and supporting two jointly designed case studies
The successful candidate will have a PhD in remote sensing environmental science or similar. He/she will have an indepth understanding of statistical analysis and excellent programming skills (e.g. Python Matlab). Proficient spoken and written English good organizational skills and an independent working style are required.
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Applications must include a motivation letter a CV and two letters of recommendation. The period of appointment is 12 months with the option to extend by another 12 months starting as agreed upon.
