Postdoctoral Research Associate in Socially Responsible Earth Observation and Agricultural Mapping University of Manchester in United Kingdom

New 2-year postdoctoral opportunity in the IrrEO project at The University of Manchester for a social scientist interested in the use of high-resolution satellite Earth Observation data for agricultural monitoring . The role focuses on the benefits and social risks that may arise when EO data are used to “put irrigation on the map.” The postdoctoral researcher will help map existing frameworks and guidance for the ethical and fair use of Earth Observation in agricultural monitoring, evaluate the...

PhD opportunity with Imago (SDR UK Imagery Data Service) for a project on flood mapping , earth observation , satellite imagery , and real-time flood prediction . The project aims to develop a national-scale flood mapping system that integrates satellite-derived embeddings with hydrodynamic simulations to support prediction of flooding anywhere in the UK. The successful candidate will be based at Newcastle University and co-supervised by Maria Valasia Peppa from the Imago team. This is a PhD ope...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Satellite Monitoring of Environmental and Climate Risks (PGR-P-2517). This project sits in Civil Engineering and focuses on remote sensing , Earth Observation , Synthetic Aperture Radar , multispectral imaging , artificial intelligence , and GIS for monitoring environmental change and climate hazards. Research themes include rapid flood and disaster impact mapping, drought and soil-moisture tracking, temperature and rainfall anomaly analysis, vegetat...

Funded Masters by Research opportunity at the University of Leeds on soil aeration as a Natural Flood Management intervention. This project sits at the intersection of hydrology , soil science , flood resilience , and environmental science , with a strong applied focus on real-world flood mitigation. The post highlights research with practical impact and is especially relevant for students interested in how land and soil management can influence water movement and flood outcomes. Eligibility not...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Satellite Monitoring of Geotechnical Stability (PGR-P-1277). This project sits in Civil Engineering and focuses on using satellite monitoring , Earth Observation , remote sensing , Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) , InSAR , multispectral imaging, GIS, AI, and data fusion to monitor slopes, earthworks, subsidence, coastal zones, sea defences, and landslide precursors. The research theme explores how spaceborne data can detect millimetric ground deformat...
