Postdoctoral Researcher in Radar Remote Sensing of Landslides and Vertical Land Motion at NASA JPL Jet Propulsion Laboratory in United States

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a world-renowned research center managed by Caltech for NASA, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the OPERA Project. This exciting opportunity focuses on radar remote sensing of landslides and vertical land motion, contributing to the understanding of geophysical processes and natural hazards. The successful candidate will work with advanced radar data to analyze and monitor landslides and ground deformation, supporting both scientific research and practical applications in geodesy and earth science.

The OPERA Project at JPL leverages cutting-edge remote sensing technologies to provide critical insights into Earth's dynamic surface. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, utilizing radar imagery and geospatial analysis to detect, map, and interpret land motion events. This role is ideal for candidates with a strong background in Earth Science, Geology, Geophysics, or related fields, and who possess expertise in radar remote sensing and data analysis.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline and demonstrate experience with radar data processing, landslide or land motion studies, and scientific programming. The position offers a fully funded postdoctoral appointment with competitive salary and benefits, in line with JPL/Caltech policies. The research conducted will have significant impact on hazard assessment, environmental monitoring, and the advancement of geodetic science.

To apply, candidates should visit the official JPL Workday portal and submit their application materials as instructed. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to NASA's mission and advance your career in earth and space science research.
