Postdoctoral Researcher in Sustainable Urban Development
4 weeks ago
The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position in sustainable urban development, focusing on urban expansion and the conversion of natural areas within African cities.
Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with strong methodological skills in geoinformatics, including GIS and high-resolution remote sensing in urban contexts. The successful candidate will develop and conduct independent research within the project frame, collaborating with the PI and a PhD student.
About 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 overarching aim of this project is to identify and promote more sustainable trajectories of urban expansion in African cities.
Responsibilities and Tasks
The postdoc will be responsible for 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. The postdoc will also 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
We are looking for a researcher with a PhD degree in geoinformatics, geography or related fields, with a track record of relevant, high-quality academic publications based on spatial analysis methodologies. Proficiency in remote sensing and GIS-based methodologies is required, while experience with integration of spatial and qualitative methodologies will be considered an asset.
Salary and Benefits
The salary for the postdoctoral position is estimated to be around 46,000 DKK per month (approximately 6,200 EUR), plus pension and other benefits. The position is available from 1 January 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Location
The postdoctoral position will be based at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen.
