1 or 2 Research Scientist positions – Remote Sensing and Hydrology


The Remote Sensing Department in Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) is planning to employ 1 or 2 highly motivated talents to conduct innovative research in the field of remote sensing and hydrology. Our department conducts innovative research to advance the understanding of the Earth system by various remote sensing techniques. It has extensive research experience in quantifying land surface dynamics via multi-source Earth observations across scales. Another focus lies on the investigation of land-atmosphere interaction and climate extremes using novel remote sensing products. The Research Scientist will bring expertise and capabilities that complement and broaden the department’s research portfolio (https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=43327), with a focus on remote sensing and hydrology. Responsibilities include:

- Perform innovative research related to hydrological remote sensing and land-atmosphere interactions, and possess a wide range of skills and knowledge in microwave remote sensing, satellite data analysis, machine learning technologies, radiative transfer model, and land surface modeling.

- Work collaboratively with co-researchers within UFZ and collaborators from partner institutes and universities.

- Act as team leader, coordinate and provide guidance to doctoral students and post-doc researchers.

- Prepare proposals for third-party funding, and promote international networking.

- Publish in highly-ranked, peer-reviewed academic journals.
