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

The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position in geoinformatics with a focus on urban expansion and conversion of natural areas. The successful candidate will contribute to the research project 'Urban encroachment – untangling drivers and dynamics of land-use transitions in ecologically sensitive areas'.

This 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.

The postdoc is expected to develop and conduct independent research within the project frame, collaborating with the PI and a PhD student. Responsibilities include spatial analyses of urban expansion trends and associated land-use/land cover conversions within natural areas.

Applicants should hold a PhD degree in geoinformatics, geography or related fields and have a track record of relevant, high-quality academic publications based on spatial analysis methodologies.
