Postdoctoral Researcher in Urban Geoinformatics
4 weeks ago
The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position in geoinformatics, focusing on urban expansion and associated conversion of natural areas within African cities.
The project, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, aims to identify and promote more sustainable trajectories of urban expansion in African cities, allowing cities to accommodate rapidly growing populations while preserving ecologically sensitive areas.
The research will entail a comparative case study of two rapidly growing cities – Accra in Ghana and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania – which are characterized by extensive informal expansion.
Responsibilities and Tasks- Develop and conduct independent research within the project frame, in collaboration with the PI and a PhD student.
- Conduct spatial analyses of urban expansion trends and associated land-use/land cover conversions within natural areas, drawing mainly on remote sensing and GIS-based methodologies.
- Contribute to the discussion on policies and planning for ecologically sensitive areas and facilitate the integration of digital spatial analysis and insights from qualitative research.
- PhD degree in geoinformatics, geography, or related fields.
- Strong methodological skills within geoinformatics, including GIS and high-resolution remote sensing in urban contexts.
- Interest in urban development issues in the Global South.
The University of Copenhagen offers a broad variety of services for international researchers and accompanying families, including support before and during your relocation and career counselling to expat partners.
