Researcher to the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Work description
45 % of the employment is for work within the project SITES Spectral, which means to carry out support and development of infrastructure for handling of spectral data. The working tasks include processing and analysis from raw data to finished time series products. More specifically, it includes processing and analysis of multispectral data collected with drones, drone operation in the field, analysis of data from phenological cameras, analysis of time series collected with multispectral instruments, and analysis of optical data from satellites. The research components include involvement in the CarboScale projet, where analysis of scaling factors for carbon balance and vegetation dynamics are central study fields.

30 % of the employment is for work within two projects related to digitization in socity (the Vinnova project FårJagLov and the SmartBuilt Environment project Forskningsplattform). These two projects are linked theroretically and methodically. The work implies development of theoretical models for information handling, the implementation of protoypes based on the models. It also includes supervision of one PhD student studying digitization of built environments.

25 % of the employment is for participation in the basic educationan programmes in GIS and remote sensing, in particular courses in advances spatial analysis and Python programming.

Candidates are expected to have experience in all of the following subjects
Documented experience in optical satellite based remote sensing, geomatics, GIS, digital image analysis, spatial databases and statistics (including time series analysis).
Documented experience in computer programming.
A finished PhD oriented towards GIS and remote sensing according to the above specification.
Experience in teaching in GIS and remote sensing.

Experience with any of the following will be considered an advantage
Experience in handling of UAV helicopters and technical skills to handle the technical systems (UAV, cameras, multispectral sensors, and relevant software) is meriting for the position.
Knowledge and experience in ETL-tools and building information systems (BIM) is a merit.
Knowledge in Swedish is an advantage but not a requirement.
