Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Land Remote Sensing We are seeking a post-doctoral fellow in the field of quantitative land remote sensing. The candidate's primary responsibility will be to conduct research in NOAA-funded projects on the monitoring land surface phenology from JPSS VIIRS or the estimating emissions from biomass burning from geostationary satellites. The fellow will develop algorithms and implement them in software to generate operational products. The funding is currently available for three years. Salary and benefits are nationally competitive.
The position will be located in the Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence (GSCE). The GSCE is a joint venture linking South Dakota State University (SDSU) with the United States Geological Survey's Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS).
