Application deadline 10 September 2021
One 9-months postdoctoral position to conduct research on remote sensing of oil pollution in remote areas of the world, including the Amazonian rainforests and the Siberian taiga. Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to a project financed by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MCIU/AEI/ESF, UE) and mainly devote their time to analyze satellite imagery and publish scientific papers in high-ranked international research journals.
The ‘Near Real-Time Monitoring of Oil Spills’ project aims at evaluating the use of remote sensors (satellite or UAVs borne multispectral images) for oil spill detection and, their coupling with low-cost and user-friendly devices and mobile apps to create an alert system for quick response to oil spills in the global tropical rainforests and other remote areas of the world. Given the nature of the project, we are particularly interested in candidates with a background on remote sensing in tropical rainforests and a commitment to building a just and equitable world. It is expected that candidates will contribute to remote sensing analysis and to write research papers. Potential topics include the following themes:
