Scientist - Remote Sensing and Earth System Modelling

Full time position (100%, 39 h/week), limited for 3 years with the possibility to extend or turn into a permanent position after evaluation.

Your tasks:

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated research scientist (f/m/x) who will bring expertise and capabilities that complement and broaden the department’s research portfolio. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to, but not limited to, one of the following topics:

• Explore novel model-data fusion approaches to integrate multi-source remote sensing data and land surface modelling framework, to better quantify water cycle dynamics (e.g., evaporation, soil moisture, precipitation, water levels) from regional to global scales.
• Improve the understanding of land-atmosphere feedbacks and hydro-climatic extremes through novel use of remote sensing datasets (e.g., detection of extreme events, impacts of extremes on water cycle and ecosystems).
• Apply machine learning methods to improve monitoring and modelling (e.g., fusing and downscaling multi-source remote sensing products, uncertainty quantification, hybrid modelling, causal inference).

Your profile:

• PhD degree in remote sensing, meteorology, hydrology, physical geography, environmental sciences, physics, statistics, computer sciences, or related field.
• Good programming skills (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, or Fortran).
• Good communication skills in English, and strong interest to work in an interdisciplinary research team.
• Good record of peer-reviewed publications or successful experience in third-party funding application is an asset.

We offer:

• World-class research environment with excellent technical facilities
• Work in inter-disciplinary, multinational teams and excellent links with national and international research networks
• Provide a range of training and education opportunities to support your career development, particularly the establishment of your own researcher group
• A vibrant region with a high quality of life and a wide cultural offering for a balance between family and professional life
• 100% full time position limited for 3 years with the possibility to extend or turn into a permanent position after evaluation
