RESEARCH FACULTY POSITIONS 

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE or ASSISTANT RESEARCH PROFESSOR 

Department of Geographical Sciences University of Maryland

 

Attached is a job announcement for two positions to work on the GEDI
investigation. GEDI is a mission to the International Space Station
currently scheduled for launch on November 29, 2018

 

 

The Department of Geographical Sciences at University of Maryland, College
Park, is seeking two Professional Track Research Faculty Members (non-tenure
positions) at either the Post-Doctoral Associate rank or the Assistant
Research Professor rank, commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Salary and benefits are highly competitive. These researchers will support
the development and execution of the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation
Lidar (GEDI). GEDI was selected by NASA as part of its Earth Ventures
Instrument (EVI) program for deployment on the International Space Station
in late 2018. GEDI will use a multi-beam waveform lidar to obtain 3D
structural information on vegetation canopies. Data from GEDI will be used
for biomass estimation, habitat characterization, and to drive prognostic
ecosystem models, among others. GEDI is led by the University of Maryland in
collaboration with NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center (GSFC), which is
responsible for building the lidar instrument.
