[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD Position: Remote Sensing in Hydrology

[Erika Marin-Spiotta]

Start date: January 2021.

Position: Remote Sensing in Hydrology

A PhD position is available in the School of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The
position is part of the project “Soil Moisture Dynamics And Water Fluxes In
The Amazon Basin During Dry Periods And Droughts- An Application of SMAP
Observations” funded by NASA. The successful applicant will join the Prof.
Jingfeng Wang research group and will collaborate with project partners at
JPL (Andreas Colliander) and the LBNL (Robinson Negron-Juarez).

The main objective of the project is to produce process-based algorithms to
improve SMAP soil moisture observations in the Amazon using extensive field
data. Experience in field campaigns, excellent communication and writing
skills, and programing knowledge (Fortran and python) are needed for this
