Position Duties: The Space Science and Engineering Center is recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to advance the capabilities of the NGFS, which is a satellite-based fire detection system being developed by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The NGFS is an innovative method designed to deliver timely and actionable information to end users such as incident meteorologists and firefighting agencies. The successful candidate will work with
the NGFS research team to refine the detection methodology. This position is fully funded for one year with possible renewal in subsequent years. It is ideal for researchers who would like to deepen and translate their meteorological and remote sensing skills
into impactful, real-world solutions that reduce wildfire-related risks to people and property.</div>

Position Requirements: Applicants must hold a PhD in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, or a closely related field, or be on track to complete their PhD by spring 2026. A strong background in satellite meteorology, radiative transfer, or remote sensing is required.
Additional desirable skills include: i) competency in FORTRAN or python programming, ii) experience working with large geophysical datasets, and iii) familiarity with geospatial data analysis and tools. We seek candidates who demonstrate strong critical-thinking
abilities, are able to work effectively and independently, and approach research tasks with rigor and enthusiasm. Strong written and oral communication skills, and the ability to thrive within a collaborative environment, are essential.</div>
