Charles University in Prague is advertising two research opportunities in remote sensing , vegetation monitoring , machine learning , and deep learning within the TILSPEC research team. Postdoctoral fellowship : The Charleston Postdoctoral Fellowship call (MSCA Cofund) is a prestigious EU-funded postdoc program under Horizon Europe / MSCA . The advertised research directions include thermal remote sensing of vegetation from UAV imaging to evapotranspiration, hyperspectral imaging of vegetation for advanced plant health assessment, and species-level vegetation change detection using UAV multispectral and hyperspectral data with deep learning. The fellowship offers about €4,500–4,800 per month plus a research and training budget , lasts 24 months at Charles University, and includes a mandatory secondment in a non-academic sector . The call is highly competitive and seeks a very strong candidate with an excellent publication record. PhD position : The PhD topic is Developing Remote Sensing–Based Indicators of Landscape State and Change Using Data-Efficient Machine Learning Across Scales . This is a research opportunity in applied geoinformatics/cartography and landscape monitoring, with a strong computational and earth-observation component. Applicants are told to contact the supervisor ASAP because a supervisor agreement is required before applying. Deadline : The postdoc expression of interest deadline is April 20, 2026 . The PhD application deadline is April 30, 2026 . Contact : Assoc. Prof. Lucie Kupkova ( [email protected] ) is listed for more information.
