Colleagues, please forward this PhD opportunity to any interested parties. ***
Phd Opportunity in Remote Sensing and Landscape Ecology at UIUC I am inviting students for doctoral work in the Department of Geography at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) beginning Fall 2012. My research centers on addressing questions of the impacts of climate change and land use/land cover change on vegetated ecosystems using remote sensing data. My research ranges across scales from individual plants to the globe, across many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and utilizes state-of-the-art remote sensing imagery including hyperspectral, hyperspatial, multitemporal, thermal, and Lidar data. Prospective graduate students will be expected to develop their own research goals, and should have curiosity, motivation, and independence. Previous research experience, programming, as well as some background or coursework in remote sensing and GIS is highly recommended. Prospective students are encouraged to visit my lab’s website: http://www.geog.illinois.edu/people/JonathanGreenberg.html and email a short summary of their research interests as well as a CV to [email protected] before applying to the program. Formal applications to the Geography Department at UIUC are due February 15, but applicants who wish to be considered for financial assistance are strongly encouraged to apply by January 15. Funding is available from a variety of sources, including fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships.
