Descripción
About the position We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in remote sensing and modeling of the cryosphere, available at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Starting date as soon as possible. The appointment is a full-time position and is for a period of three years (10% of which is devoted to other career-promoting work, usually in the form of teaching activities). No one can be appointed for more than one Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Oslo. Place of work is Department of Geosciences at Blindern, Oslo. Project description The position is affiliated with the Department’s Section for Physical Geography and Hydrology, which has long-term experience in investigating the terrestrial cryosphere and is involved in various high-level research projects and centers. (See for instance http://www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/about/organisation/geohyd and https://www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/research/groups/remotesensing ). We are a growing, lively, friendly and collaborative research environment in cold regions sciences, in particular in glaciology, remote sensing, geohazards, hydrology and geomatics. We participate in a number of international projects such that the successful candidate will have excellent opportunities to participate in international research networks. We also run an advanced drone lab on behalf of the entire faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ( https://www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/research/about/infrastructure/facilities/observations/geosciences/the-drone-infrastructure-laboratory/ ). The position is embedded in a network of projects that involve remote sensing of the cryosphere and related data science methods: the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant SnowShifts with University of Oslo (Prof. A. Kääb), EPFL Sion and WSL/SLF (Prof. M. Lehning), and BOKU Vienna (Dr. F. Koch) as PI institutions, and GFZ Potsdam, CESBIO Toulouse and ANavS Munich as further key part
