About this position

Fully funded PhD opportunity in AI, Earth Observation, and Environmental Data Science at the HydroTerra Lab, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. The project is led by Dr. Sara Sadri, Canada Research Chair in Remote Sensing and Water Security, and is supported by NSERC.

The successful student will develop advanced computational methods using large-scale satellite, geospatial, and environmental datasets. Research interests highlighted in the post include machine learning, deep learning, remote sensing, geospatial analysis, statistical modelling, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, data fusion, and environmental forecasting.

Eligibility highlights: an MSc in Computer Science, Civil & Environmental Engineering, or a closely related quantitative field; strong Python and/or R skills; experience with machine learning, geospatial analysis, remote sensing, or environmental data science; strong quantitative reasoning; independent problem-solving; and research/scientific writing experience. Helpful extras include cloud-based geospatial computing, reproducible workflows, publications, a strong MSc thesis, or a research-software portfolio.

To apply, email your CV, unofficial transcripts, a short statement of research interests and fit, and two references to [email protected]. Use the subject line: PhD Opportunity Inquiry – Environmental Data Science. Selected candidates will then be invited to complete UPEI’s official graduate admissions process. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

Note: the post also mentions Canadian residency/study-permit and relocation timing considerations for applicants currently based in Canada, the United States, or Europe.
