Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time
Job Description

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

The postdoctoral position is part of the research project "Urban Encroachment – Untangling Drivers and Dynamics of Land-Use Transitions in Ecologically Sensitive Areas" funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project 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.

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.
Requirements
  • PhD degree in geoinformatics, geography, or related fields.
  • Strong methodological skills within geoinformatics, including GIS and high-resolution remote sensing in urban contexts.
  • Experience with integration of spatial and qualitative methodologies.
  • High proficiency in spoken and written English.
Working Environment

The postdoc will be employed in the Sections for Geography at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen. The department offers an international work environment and hosts a diverse group of faculty, postdocs, and PhD students within the field of geography and geoinformatics.
