Postdoctoral Research Associate in Earth Observation & Data Science
Applications for this vacancy closed on 5 January 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate on a project mapping seagrass
in the Western Indian Ocean led by Dr Gwilym Rowlands. Seagrass habitats are
extremely valuable yet often endangered ecosystems; accurate maps are urgently
required to support improved management. You will work as part of a large and
dispersed international team of researchers, with the opportunity to regularly
interact with collaborating researchers in Oxford and across the study region.
This position provides an excellent opportunity for an ambitious researcher
interested in working at the interface of marine research, conservation, and
policy.
The successful applicant will manage their own research and administrative
activities. You will take a leading role in delivering geospatial and remote
sensing analysis, technical writing, literature synthesis, collaborative
meetings, field planning and logistics. You will collaborate in the
preparation and delivery of scientific reports journal articles and
occasionally present papers and posters.
You will hold, or be close to completion, a relevant PhD/DPhil, together with
relevant experience. You will demonstrate relevant expertise for the
classification of satellite imagery into GIS-ready habitat maps, familiarity
with the use of cloud computing platforms, like the Google Earth Engine, for
remote sensing and geospatial analysis, and familiarity with the challenges
and technical solutions for optical remote sensing and mapping in marine and
coastal environments.
The post is offered full-time for a period of up to 36 months. Applications to
work 80% full-time may be considered. The post is scheduled to start in
January 2024.
Please apply by uploading a cover letter and CV through our e-recruitment
