We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources. The Department of Remote Sensing in UFZ (<a href="http://www.ufz.de/remote-sensing" class="">www.ufz.de/remote-sensing</a>) conducts innovative research to advance the understanding of the Earth system via various remote sensing techniques. It has extensive research experience in quantifying land surface dynamics from 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 department is also involved in the Remote Sensing Centre for Earth System Research (RSC4Earth, <a href="https://rsc4earth.de" class="">https://rsc4earth.de</a>), which is a joint initiative between Leipzig University and UFZ. We will work closely with national (e.g., iDiv, TROPOS, DLR, MPI-BGC, MPI-M, LMU) and international (e.g., NASA, ESA, UKCEH, ECMWF, Oxford University, Princeton University) collaborators to better understand ecosystem functioning and water dynamics in a changing climate.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><b style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Preferred Skills</b></div><div class=""><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">PhD degree in remote sensing, meteorology, hydrology, physical geography, environmental sciences, physics, statistics, computer sciences, or related field.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Good programming skills (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, or Fortran).</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Good communication skills in English, and strong interest to work in an interdisciplinary research team.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Good record of peer-reviewed publications or successful experience in third-party funding application is an asset.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><b style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Our offer</b></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">World-class research environment with excellent technical facilities</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Work in inter-disciplinary, multinational teams and excellent links with national and international research networks</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Provide a range of training and education opportunities to support your career development, particularly the establishment of your own researcher group</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">A vibrant region with a high quality of life and a wide cultural offering for a balance between family and professional life</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">100% full time position limited for 3 years with the possibility to extend or turn into a permanent position after evaluation</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Remuneration at public-sector pay grade TVöD E13 including attractive public-sector social security benefits.</span></div></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><b class="">To Apply:</b> <a href="https://recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/2457/Description/2" class="">https://recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/2457/Description/2</a></span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class="">
