Research engineer position at the Department of Systems Ecology
Ref. no. SU 618-2570-11.
Deadline: 26 Februari 2012
Start of employment: immediately
The position is within the project 'Strategic partnership for improved basin-scale Water quality parameter retrieval from optical Signatures" (WaterS). This project is externally financed within the EU-FP7-program 'PEOPLE- MARIE CURIE ACTIONS'. The future employee will be closely working with the ESA MERIS validation team. Information about our department can be found on our home page:
www.ecology.su.seJob description:
1) To develop, improve and validate the current atmospheric correction for ESA's MERIS sensor on ENVISAT, and to suggest corrections for OCLI (Ocean Land Colour Instrument) which will be launched on ESA's Sentinel-3 missions.
2) The work involves analysis and modelling of optically complex water (Swedish lakes, coastal areas in the Baltic Sea), analysis of MERIS images, Aeronet-OC data in comparison with field observations.
3) Practical training for young researchers in our Nordic Network for Baltic Sea Remote Sensing (NordBaltRemS), including modeling and field measurements; presentations of results at workshops, conferences and seminars.
4) Project management will be part of the duties.
Qualification requirements
The successful candidate will hold at least a Master's degree in a natural science subject and has at least another four years of research experience in marine bio-optics and marine remote sensing, and was not employed in Sweden for more than 12 months during the last 3 years.
Grounds for assessment
Applications will be judged particularly on the following grounds of scientific proficiency. Proven practical skills and documented scientific experience in marine remote sensing (SeaWiFS, MODIS and MERIS data), atmospheric correction and bio-optics of coastal waters. Moreover, experience with and validation of radiative transfer theory models, atmospheric models and their application to sea water and the atmosphere are a clear merit. Experience with calibration and validation of radiometers. Experience of analysis and collection of atmospheric and in situ measurements, preferably with the CIMEL spectrophotometer and IOP measurements (AC9).
Experience of data analysis of radiometers and analysis of marine remote sensing data, such as BEAM, ODESA and SeaDAS. Adequate programming skills and experience with the development of new algorithms.
Since the post will require participation in field trips and on board ships, the researcher should have experience of working at sea.
A high standard of oral and written English is an absolute requirement.
Terms of employment
This is a full time position for a maximum of one year. The start date is immediately.
Stockholm University strives to be a work place that is free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
