Jobs & Appointments

You will play a key role in promoting excellence within your faculty and enhancing your expertise’s visibility through teaching and research. Responsibilities include developing a cutting-edge research program in remote sensing of the environment, focusing on areas like image analysis, geospatial data, and AI for sustainable cities. If aligned with IVADO’s objectives on environmental big data, your research may qualify for an IVADO professorship with enhanced starting conditions.

Researchers from the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment at Auburn University are implementing a 4-year project to understand the impacts of historical management activities on biodiversity of Alabama wildlife and to inform future approaches to habitat management on state lands. As part of this project, we are seeking a research assistant who will assist with coordinating all field- and office-based aspects of the project.

Fully funded MS assistantship using remote sensing data and field-based vegetation observations to examine past and future changes in wildlife habitat in Alabama.

Seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher, specializing on climate and environmental data science, to support development of innovative and high-quality analytical solutions to help understand climate impacts, crop and location-specific risks and adaptation options, and inform relevant investments in sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation.

SciSpace invites applications for one programmer position at NASA-Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA GISS) to assist in remote sensing and crop modeling for seasonal yield forecasting. Tasks will include the processing of remote sensing, crop model, and weather model data and their combination within data assimilation and forecasting systems. Information about GISS can be found www.giss.nasa.gov.

The successful candidate will conduct research in the field of water resources and extensive field experiments, with several areas in CARC. Will also assist PI with data downscaling, predictions and evaluation.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Post-Doctoral researcher with a background in computer simulation, agent-based modelling, farmer behavioural modelling or microsimulation to join the BESTMAP team in the University of Leeds and contribute to the development of individual-farm agent-based modelling on farmer decision making, in dealing with challenges in land-use intensification, sustainable agriculture and climate change.

The Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Vernon, TX (http://vernon.tamu.edu/) (Texas A & M University System) is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (Agricultural Water Management) position.

A postdoctoral research associate is sought in the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the University of Michigan. The successful candidate will assist with 1) developing and implementing agent-based simulations of interactions between humans and wildlife; 2) analyzing and visualizing simulation outputs to share with decision makers; and 3) writing scientific, peer-reviewed publications.

We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified student to evaluate the ability of alternative cropping rotations in a dryland wheat-based cropping system to capture and utilize available water and soil nitrogen within complex landscapes and over a wide climatic gradient. Research will involve field experimentation, remote sensing, and hydrologic crop modeling.
