About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Corvallis, Oregon, within the Horticultural Crop Production and Genetic Improvement Research Unit. The project centers on image-based soil health analysis, combining advanced sensing and imaging technologies to study how soil health management practices influence soil health metrics, crop yield, and crop quality.

The fellow will work with a range of imaging systems, including x-ray computed tomography, RGB-D cameras, hyperspectral cameras, x-ray instruments, imaging boxes, and robot-mounted cameras. A major part of the work is high-throughput image data analysis across multiple imaging modalities, with computational workflows developed in Python and deployed across local systems, edge-computing devices, and Department of Energy and Department of Agriculture computing clusters.

The role is collaborative and interdisciplinary, involving researchers in crop production, genetics, engineering, and data science. The fellow will also contribute to manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication based on the project’s results. The opportunity includes travel to data-collection sites in Washington, California, and Illinois, including synchrotron light sources and vineyards.

The research is guided by mentor Devin Rippner at USDA-ARS.

Funding details

Stipend of $6,705.00 monthly; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on availability of funds.
