Postdoc: Observations of Aircraft Contrails to Evaluate and Improve Model Predictions Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study observations of aircraft contrails and improve models that predict their persistence and climate impact. The project supports contrail avoidance strategies aimed at reducing aviation’s contribution to climate change. The researcher will combine observations from ground-based imagery, LIDAR measurements, and satellite imagery to create high-quality datasets for evaluating and improving contrail prediction mode...

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...
