About this position
Elise Jakoby Laugier is recruiting an MS or PhD student to join the LEGASYS Lab at Utah State University in research spanning remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial artificial intelligence.
The student will contribute to a UtahView-funded project investigating historical land-use and landscape change in Utah. The research will draw on historical aerial photography and satellite imagery, combining geospatial programming with applied remote sensing methods. Potential research activities include machine learning and GeoAI for image classification, feature extraction, and change detection.
The project offers an opportunity to develop practical expertise in ArcGIS Pro, Python, Earth observation, and geospatial analysis while addressing landscape-change questions in a regional research setting. Through UtahView’s connection to the national AmericaView network, the student may also participate in Earth observation education and outreach, collaborate with researchers and practitioners across the United States, and build professional connections in the broader remote sensing community.
Graduate coursework can include the opportunity to earn Utah State University’s Remote Sensing and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (RS-GeoAI) Certificate.
