The Polar Remote Sensing Research Group at McGill University is recruiting at least one MSc student and one PhD student for the Fall 2027 intake. The project focuses on radar remote sensing of Arctic sea ice using multi-frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) . Students will investigate Arctic sea-ice conditions through radar-based remote sensing, contributing to polar observation and the interpretation of multi-frequency SAR data. The work is based in Dr. Mallik Mahmud’s lab within the Polar R...

PhD opportunities are available for Fall 2027 in the research group of Lin Shen, Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Science & Environmental Change at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The group works at the intersection of satellite geodesy, remote sensing, computational methods, and AI/ML to study Earth-surface dynamics and the physical processes that drive them. Research directions include earthquake cycles, fault mechanics, and crustal dynamics; volcanic unrest, monitor...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to work on the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission and its applications to river hydrology. The project focuses on retrieving river flow velocity from SWOT observations, understanding how flood waves propagate through river networks, and improving methods for river discharge estimation and flood forecasting. The selected postdoc will work with Dr. Cédric David and Renato P. M. Frasson at NASA JPL in Pasadena, Cali...
