PhD - Investigating Earth's surface properties and their evolution using optical and radar observations
vor 3 Wochen
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.We offer a 4-year PhD full position (with internal evaluation after one year). All doctoral candidates will be members of UZH's and thus benefit from a comprehensive training program and extensive support measures, including the possibility to spend a period abroad. We offer outstanding working conditions, a high quality of life in Zurich, excellent support and a flexible work environment that fosters collaboration and teamwork.
