PhD opportunities in forest ecology, remote sensing and data science University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

University College London is hiring an 18-month postdoctoral Research Fellow for the 3DTreePrint project, focused on democratising and scaling mobile laser scanning for monitoring trees and forests. The role is strongly application-oriented and centers on the processing side of the project. The successful candidate will work with forest point clouds (TLS/MLS), SLAM , and programming in Python or C++ . The project uses low-cost prototypes based on the Livox mid360 LiDAR and is connected to relate...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics on whether forests are becoming more vulnerable to climate extremes . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and combines satellite data analysis , statistical risk modelling , climate science , ecology , environmental science , and mathematical modelling . The research will use decades of satellite records of forest photosynthesis and carbon stocks to study how forests respond to heatwaves and droughts, how quickly they ...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (School of Environmental Sciences) on drivers and consequences of recent changes in bird migration . This project investigates how and why migratory birds are changing their behaviour, including reductions in migratory distance, shifts in timing, and cases where individuals become sedentary. The research combines ecology , animal movement , remote sensing , data science , and zoology , with a strong conservation focus. Research themes and methods:...
