The University of Oklahoma is offering two exciting research opportunities in remote sensing: a Postdoctoral Research Associate and a fully funded PhD student position. Both roles are based in the Center for Spatial Analysis under the supervision of Dr. Chengbin Deng, an Associate Professor with extensive experience in NASA and NSF-funded research on land use change and urban computing. The postdoctoral position requires a PhD in remote sensing, GIS, computer science, or engineering, with strong programming skills (Python or MATLAB), a solid background in mathematics and statistics, and a record of research publications.

Experience with multi-source remote sensing, GeoAI, high-performance computing, machine learning, or deep learning is advantageous. The fully funded PhD position is open to candidates with a BS or MS in remote sensing, computer science, or related fields, strong programming skills, and a passion for research. No GRE is required, but international students must provide TOEFL or IELTS scores. Both positions offer the chance to work on federally funded projects and collaborate with a successful research group.

To apply, candidates should email Dr. Deng with a cover letter, CV, references, and transcripts (plus TOEFL/IELTS scores for PhD applicants). The PhD position starts in Spring 2026.
