Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nature Restoration, Computer Science, and Remote Sensing at University of Cambridge University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

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...

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:...

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 ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, University of Kent , offered through the ARIES Doctoral Training Programme . The project is titled “Integrating Machine Learning and Remote Sensing to Track Pressures on Migratory Fish in UK Rivers and Estuaries” . It sits at the intersection of biology , environmental science , computer science , and earth science , with a strong focus on fisheries ecology, conservation, remote sensing, and machine learning. Supe...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in machine learning for large-scale distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) across urban, coastal, and maritime environments. This project focuses on developing computational methods for analysing large, noisy, and difficult-to-label DAS datasets. You will work on machine learning , signal processing , and spatiotemporal data analysis to detect, classify, localise, and separate events in fibre-optic sensing data. Possible research directions include se...
