The University of Tromsø is currently expanding its activities in Earth observation/remote sensing, and is now announcing several avaiiable
research positions. We would be very grateful if you could spread the news to potential interested applicants.
The information announcement is also included in the attached pdf-file.
3-5 PhD positions in Earth observation/remote sensing are available at Department of Physics and Technology, University of Tromsø.
The University of Tromsø has 3-5 research fellow positions in Earth observation/remote sensing vacant for applicants who would like to complete a PhD degree. The positions are organized under the Department of Physics and Technology, and the research fellows will be enrolled in the Barents Remote Sensing School (BARESS), which is a research school in earth observation at the University of Tromsø.
The desired research area is Earth observation/remote sensing, specifically using SAR (synthetic aperture radar) and PolSAR (polarimetric SAR) data, addressing research problems like;
• change detection,
• marine target detection (ships, icebergs, oil spill),
• sea surface dynamics studies (wind, waves, currents),
• land cover classification (vegetation, forest, sea ice, glaciers),
• physical and/or statistical modelling,
• methodology for data analysis and multi-sensor data fusion.
Applicants should describe their interests and relate their background with respect to the above mentioned research topics.
