Zurich, Schweiz Department of Geography Vollzeit

Department of Geography_
**Postdoctoral Researcher - Data scientist in remote sensing and photogrammetry**
**80 % **:The announced postdoctoral researcher is part of the new Remote Sensing of Environmental Changes group within the Remote Sensing Laboratories at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich.

The research group aims to address these challenges and to make an impact in quantifying, understanding, and mitigating environmental changes in the cryosphere, forestry, and geomorphology. To this end, we aim to address fundamental and methodological questions in remote sensing. Yet, several challenges exist, including managing the sheer volume and variety of geospatial data available from open and commercial sensors and across different spatial and temporal resolutions. Furthermore, the imminent launch of new satellite missions will open new research perspectives.
- You will be responsible for managing the satellite data archive and developing algorithms/tools that facilitate organization, and access to the data for the team's research and teaching activities.
- You are expected to develop image processing and analysis tools to support the team, including artificial intelligence and machine learning for geospatial remote sensing datasets.
- You will be part of the team contributing to developing open-source and modular processing pipelines for accurately generating DEM time series and elevation information. These solutions can complement already available pipelines such as xDEM. Subsequently, advanced time series optical and SAR data analysis will be created with the PhDs for change detection analysis, including developing satellite radar interferometric ground motion time series. Furthermore, the multiple sensor-platform approach aims to calibrate/validate satellite observation at local, regional, and global scales.
- You will also collaborate in the planning and teaching of courses in the field of remote sensing at the department.

**Your profile**: We seek an enthusiastic, creative, and independent researcher interested in working with various remote sensing data to quantify changes in cryosphere, forestry, and geomorphology. Specifically, the research topics will cover a broad range of technology and environmental sciences, including but not only glacier changes in elevation and velocity, periglacial changes due to glacier retreat and related mass movements, spatiotemporal changes in forest cover and height along with the characterization of vertical and horizontal forest structures. Remote sensing data include historical and digital aerial images, airborne Lidar, optical satellite data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), satellite laser and radar altimetry. In addition, research will also involve the simulation and use of upcoming ESA and NASA satellite missions.

**Requirements**:
Interactions with supported science IT teams will be required to address large-scale computational research data processing and management.

**What we offer**: The team will be built on the values of collaboration, diversity, respect, initiative, and open science. The drivers of the research group are sharing experiences, ideas, and approaches, learning from each other, and returning what we have learned to the group and the community.

We offer outstanding working conditions, a high quality of life in Zurich, excellent support and a flexible work environment that fosters collaboration and teamwork.

Employment is 80 % for three years with a possibility of extension of another three years. The salary is defined by the level of the employee's career and age following the salary regulations of the UZH.

**Start of employment**: The employment should start as soon as possible, based on mutual agreement.
