The Department is looking for a PostDoc within the area of Forest Remote Sensing. The PostDoc will analyze patterns of biodiversity in
boreal forests from remotely sensed data, in particular high-resolution airborne laser scanning data. The work includes development of methods for deriving information from the remotely sensed data, statistical analysis of the relation between the information derived from
remote sensing and a unique dataset consisting of inventory data of key substrates and structures for biodiversity and of several species
groups, and validation of the results including field visits. The candidate will work in research projects with other researchers in forest remote sensing and ecology
Your profile
We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher with a particular interest in biodiversity and remote sensing. The candidate must hold a
PhD in a relevant area, such as remote sensing, ecology, or forest science. Merits for this position are computational programming or computational scripting, knowledge about ecology or forest management/forest inventory, and experience of restoration ecology as well
as analysis of forest or other vegetation from remotely sensed data. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as analytical and
problem solving ability, ability to work independently and collaborative ability. Good skills to express yourself verbally and in writing in English are required.
As Postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a
doctoral degree that have received their PhD no later than three years ago.
