Department of Geography_
**PhD student position - Thermal remote sensing of the cryosphere**
**60 % **:The Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL) at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich (UZH) is an established research unit with a strong focus on all aspects of remote sensing. The Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing Lab (TIRLab) at RSL performs fundamental and solution-oriented research focusing on the challenges and limitations of thermal infrared remote sensing. The accurate retrieval of land surface temperature and associated Earth System relevant variables is tackled by a multi-scale instrumentation and modelling approach.
**Your responsibilities**: The prospective PhD project aims to investigate the potential of thermal infrared remote sensing for the cryosphere. The cryosphere is changing at unprecedented rate and calls for holistic and innovative monitoring strategies to make sound prediction of future dynamics, occurrence and linked processes. This project aims to assess the spatio-temporal variability of surface temperature and linked energy fluxes over cryosphere components (snow, glaciers, permafrost) in complex, alpine topography, and prepare for the product retrieval of upcoming thermal missions (Trishna, SBG, LSTM). Specific tasks include the creation of a multi-scale dataset using intensive instrumentation, as well as across-scale post-processing and analysis of the obtained data.
**Your profile**: You have completed a Master's degree in either physics, environmental science/engineering, remote sensing, quantitative geography, computer science or a closely related science field. You enjoy field work in mountainous terrain and have good knowledge in data analysis using scripting languages (preferably python). Experience or interest in technical characteristics of sensors and instruments is an asset. Teamwork and active participation with a large, international consortia are expected. A high standard of written and spoken English is mandatory.
**Place of work**: Universität Zürich Campus Irchel, Winterthurerstrasse, Zürich, Switzerland
