Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Radar Remote Sensing of Glaciers A position as a Postdoctoral research fellow is available at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway. The fellowship is until February 2018, or possibly up to 4 years. Starting date as soon as possible. Job description We invite applications for a challenging postdoctoral research fellowship in radar remote sensing of glaciers. The successful candidate will quantify and analyse ice flow and glacier volume changes on local to global scale, mainly using state-of-the-art radar remote sensing methods, such as radar interferometry and offset tracking. The candidate will be part of a lively research environment in cold regions sciences, in particular in remote sensing, geoinformatics, glaciology, geomorphology and geohazards. The position includes collaboration with a number of international partners, and the successful candidate will have opportunity to participate in international research networks. The position is funded through an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council. A description of the related project can be found under http://mn.uio.no/icemass. The position is affiliated with the Section for Physical Geography and Hydrology, which has longterm experience in investigating the terrestrial cryosphere (snow, glaciers, permafrost) and is involved in various high-level research projects and centers. Qualifications The candidate should have a strong background and interest in Radar response to snow and ice; Radar interferometry and differential interferometry; Radar offset tracking; Programming (Matlab, IDL, Python, or similar languages) and geoinformatics Glaciological theory and practice. Requirements Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent in remote sensing/geomatics, glaciology or related fields.
