Graduate research assistantship available in urban remote sensing at the University of Alabama in Huntsville

Hu’s Urban Remote Sensing Lab (https://huleiqiu.wordpress.com/research/) has one GRA position open at the master’s or Ph.D. level beginning as soon as the summer of 2021.

Hu’s lab primarily focuses on the interaction of humans, the land surface, and the atmosphere in complex and changing urban environments, and seeks to improve our understanding of urban environmental changes and urban climate under the context of rapid urbanization and changing climate for sustainable urban development. The lab uses traditional and advanced remote sensing and develops advanced geospatial analytic approaches for applications in cities worldwide. This NASA-funded position will support research on urban effects on hydrometeorological cycles using multiple sources of remote sensing products. The graduate student will work closely with Dr. Leiqiu Hu and have the opportunity to collaborate with other researchers from multiple universities on this collaborative and interdisciplinary project.

Requirements
The prospective candidate is expected to have strong quantitative background training in one or more of the following areas: remote sensing, climatology, geostatistics, big data analytics, or other related physical sciences. Familiarity with at least one programming language (R, Python, MATLAB, etc.) is highly desirable. The potential candidate is expected to have strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

About UAH
