About this position

Roger Michaelides at Washington University in St. Louis is recruiting for the Radar Lab: a postdoctoral research associate and a PhD student position starting in Fall 2027.

The research area centers on radar remote sensing, SAR, InSAR, radar geophysics, and polar processes, with a focus on developing novel geodetic imaging techniques and multi-sensor fusion workflows. The projects aim to improve characterization of surface topography, vegetation canopy estimates, and surface topographic change over periglacial landscapes.

Both positions are funded by NASA grants. The postdoctoral research associate has a direct application link, while PhD candidates are asked to contact the PI directly and learn more about the graduate program in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences.

Ideal candidates should have strong interest in remote sensing, geodetic imaging, and data fusion methods relevant to Earth surface and cryosphere-related research. The post does not mention a deadline.

Funding details

Both the postdoctoral research associate and PhD student positions are funded by NASA grants.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in developing novel geodetic imaging techniques and multi-sensor fusion workflows for improved characterization of surface topography, vegetation canopy estimates, and surface topographic change over periglacial landscapes. The PhD candidate should contact the PI directly and apply through the graduate program in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences.
