PhD in forest ecology, 3D forest structure and microclimate buffering at Ghent University Ghent University in Belgium

Ghent University is advertising a PhD / doctoral fellow position in the Department of Environment within Q-ForestLab for the ERC project SPACETWIN : digital twins for understanding forest disturbances and recovery from space. The project sits at the intersection of Environmental Science , Earth Science , Biology , Computer Science , and Physics . It focuses on forest ecology, remote sensing, satellite data analysis, radiative transfer modelling, 3D forest reconstruction, and terrestrial laser sc...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity in forest ecology , forestry , remote sensing , statistics , and environmental science focused on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and tropical forest carbon stocks. The position is part of the GEO-TREES initiative in partnership with ForestGEO , supporting a global, standardized reference system for measuring and monitoring forest biomass and improving satellite-based carbon estimates. The postdoc will work on collection, processing, management, and anal...

Emily Lines, Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, is inviting applications for PhD supervision. The research sits at the intersection of forest ecology , remote sensing , and data science , with project ideas including low-cost terrestrial lidar for forest monitoring , sensing diversity in three dimensions , and three-dimensional foundation models of forests . Applicants are also welcome to develop their own project ideas. This is a PhD opportunity r...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...

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...
