**PhD - Investigating Earth's surface**
**80 % **:The announced PhD position 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.
PhD project description
**Your responsibilities**:
- Developing and implementing research questions.
- Investigation, selection and pre-processing of multi-source remote sensing data.
- Explore the potential of multi-source remote sensing data such as:
- Analyzing multi-spectral and hyperspectral imagery to investigate the surface properties over glacial, periglacial and forested areas.
- Combining optical and radar imagery to investigate the surface properties over glacial, periglacial and forested areas.
- Developing algorithms to deal with high spatial and temporal resolution radar and optical imagery.
- Presentation of research results at conferences and publishing results in peer-reviewed journals.
- Contribution to the teaching of remote sensing courses.
- Close collaboration with research partners at the University of Zurich, Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF), Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
**Your profile**: You have completed a M.Sc. degree in photogrammetry, remote sensing, computer vision, physical geography, earth systems science, physics, or related fields. A strong interest and possibly some experience in signal processing, radar data, digital image processing, and change detection analysis is expected.
Very good skills in processing and analyzing geospatial data and advanced programming and computational skills (e.g., Python) are required. You have very good written and spoken English and are willing to interact with an interdisciplinary science community. Knowing German is an additional asset, but not required.
**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.
**Start of employment**: The employment should start as soon as possible, based on mutual agreement.
