[ES_JOBS_NET] UIUC is opening multiple positions on Ecosystem Modeling, Remote Sensing, and Data Analytics

[Bin Peng]

Dear colleagues,

The newly founded Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcHoWLcm_Xw&feature=youtu.be> at
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is recruiting multiple
research scientists, postdoctoral scholars and PhD students on ecosystem
modeling, remote sensing, and advanced data analytics. Research topics for
these positions include:

1) Advancing ecosystem modeling (using the ecosys model) for coupled water,
carbon and nutrient cycles in managed or natural ecosystems. The candidates
will work on improving existing ecosystem models or develop new modules
with new theories and observational evidence.

2) Advancing ecosystem sensing (esp. Hyperspectral sensing) by integrating
ground, airborne, and satellite data. The candidates will work on
generating new insights and data products from geospatial big data with
radiative transfer modeling, computer vision, and deep learning.

3) Advancing model-data fusion by integrating advanced ecosystem modeling
with high-quality sensing data to improve the quantification of changes in
various ecosystem services. The candidates will work on building effective,
scalable and efficient model-data fusion solutions by leveraging advanced
computation techniques and artificial intelligence.

4) Measuring and processing gas (CO2, N2O, and water vapor) and energy
exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere using the eddy
covariance technique. The candidate will work on field data collection,
conducting eddy covariance data analysis to understand the mechanistic
basis of mass and energy exchange between the land surface and the
atmosphere, and modeling those processes in the ecosystem models.


Please check more details on those openings in the attached flyer or at

Thanks a lot for spreading the words to those who are interested in these
openings.


Bin.
