About this position

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate the global spatial organization of precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation using satellite observations and models.

This research sits at the intersection of hydrology, remote sensing, and Earth system science, with a strong emphasis on understanding how hydrologic and vegetation conditions vary across spatial scales. The project examines the environmental factors that shape these patterns and assesses how well they are represented in models.

The successful scholar will analyze satellite observations and model output, develop approaches for characterizing hydrologic and vegetation patterns across multiple scales, and evaluate model representations of those patterns. The role also includes contributing to openly available datasets and analysis tools, leading peer-reviewed publications, presenting at scientific conferences, and participating actively in group meetings and discussions.

The position is based in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine and involves close collaboration with the principal investigator, along with mentoring undergraduate researchers in an active research environment.

Funding details

NSF-funded project; two-year postdoctoral position renewable pending good progress and funding; salary range USD 69,073-82,836 per year plus generous benefits.

What's required

An expected or recent PhD in hydrology, remote sensing, Earth system science, or a relevant field is required. Applicants should have proficiency in scientific programming and analysis of large datasets, experience with remote sensing and geospatial data analysis, and experience working in high-performance computing environments.

How to apply

Apply through the UC Irvine recruitment portal using the application link provided. Submit a CV and a cover letter describing your research background, reasons for applying, and longer-term research plans. Provide contact information for three referees.
