Postdoctoral Researcher in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

2 weeks ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

About the Project

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Analysis group at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position onboard the VILLUM-funded project 'Arctic biogenic volatile compounds from above' (AVOCA). A two-year position is available, to be filled by 1st December 2024 or as soon as possible after.

AVOCA is a multidisciplinary project focusing on quantifying emissions of dominant biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in Arctic tundra. We will develop and apply new remote sensing techniques using data from unmanned aerial systems (UAS), satellite data, and field work to develop proxies for BVOC emissions.

Your Profile

We are looking for a candidate with experience and interest in technical and applied aspects of multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing and image analysis, and with interest in working with these systems on UAS. Prior experience with operating UAS is not necessary. You are expected to work independently, have prior experience with computer scripting, and have excellent communication skills in written and spoken English.

You will be responsible for a project work package (WP) in collaboration with the project PI. The WP studies both method development and applied work in image/point cloud classification of plant species/diversity, and assessments of photosynthesis and BVOC emissions using hyperspectral imaging.

  • Assess photosynthesis and BVOC emissions using hyperspectral imaging
  • Classify plant species and diversity using image and point cloud data
  • Develop and apply new remote sensing techniques

We prioritize both the candidate's own research interests and the project aims, leaving room for personal ambitions within the frames of our research goals. Field work is included, e.g. in Sub-Arctic Sweden and Greenland.
