Research Fellow in Earth Observation of the Polar Regions

Research Fellow in Earth Observation of the Polar Regions focuses on do you have a phd (or near to completion) in a quantitative subject, an interest in polar research and the skills to develop our earth observation capability?.

What the role involves

• Do you have a PhD (or near to completion) in a quantitative subject, an interest in Polar research and the skills to develop our Earth observation capability?
• Join a team of glaciologists at the University of Leeds, using satellite data to improve our understanding of ice sheet-ocean interactions, and the processes driving recent change.
• Work with Prof Hogg to investigate ice sheet dynamics, and the impact of ice-ocean interactions on ice mass loss and sea level rise.
• Leading author peer review publications reporting these findings, and present your work at international science conferences.
• Have opportunity to work on multiple research projects, and to travel to leading international institutions to present your work, growing your network of collaborators.

Skills and requirements

• Experience of processing satellite datasets for cryosphere, oceanographic or other disciplines is highly desirable.

Confirmed role details

• Have or be close to obtaining a PhD in a relevant subject such as remote sensing, physics, mathematics, computer science or environmental science.

Additional role context

• Are you an ambitious scientist looking for your next challenge?
• This group uses state-of-the-art Earth observation data and advanced computer techniques to study the Polar regions.
• The group receives research funding on major projects from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the European Space Agency (ESA).
