Postdoctoral Researcher in Geoinformatics

The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in geoinformatics, focusing on urban expansion and land-use conversion. The position is a part of the research project 'Urban encroachment – untangling drivers and dynamics of land-use transitions in ecologically sensitive areas.'

The project aims to identify and promote more sustainable trajectories of urban expansion in African cities, allowing cities to accommodate growing populations while preserving ecologically sensitive areas. The research will involve a comparative case study of two rapidly growing cities, Accra in Ghana and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for spatial analyses of urban expansion trends and associated land-use/land cover conversions within natural areas, using remote sensing and GIS-based methodologies.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in geoinformatics or a related field, with strong methodological skills in GIS and remote sensing. Experience with integration of spatial and qualitative methodologies will be considered an asset.

The University of Copenhagen is an international community with a diverse group of faculty, postdocs, and PhD students. The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management offers a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

The postdoctoral position is a full-time position with a fixed term limited to 24 months. The terms of employment and salary are in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
