Postdoctoral Positions in Spectral Intelligence for Viticulture at California State University, Fresno California State University, Fresno in United States

California State University, Fresno is advertising postdoctoral positions in Spectral Intelligence for Viticulture with Professor/Chair Luca Brillante. The research sits at the intersection of viticulture, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, plant phenotyping, and precision agriculture.

Successful candidates will work on developing spectral tools for vineyard monitoring across multiple sensing platforms, including satellite imagery, airborne and aircraft hyperspectral systems, UAV-based multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, and ground-based proximal sensing. Current project themes include early disease detection, vineyard water status assessment, irrigation management, multi-platform data fusion, and machine learning/AI for vineyard decision support.

The post mentions that the team works with one of the largest vineyard spectral datasets currently available, including airborne hyperspectral imagery, UAV acquisitions, field measurements, and commercial vineyard partnerships throughout California. This is a strong fit for applicants with backgrounds in remote sensing, computer vision, data science, machine learning, plant physiology, precision agriculture, or geospatial analytics.

This is a postdoctoral opportunity rather than a scholarship. The post says official postings will be released soon, and interested candidates are encouraged to contact Luca Brillante directly with a CV and a brief statement of interest.
