PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Remote Sensing in Germany

The PhD programme in Geography at the University of Göttingen is built around the research focus “Resources and Sustainability” . It is centred on the interface of human-environment research and combines work in physical geography, human geography, cartography, GIS, and remote sensing. Doctoral researchers engage with topics such as process mapping and modelling, material balances involving water, air, sediment, carbon, nitrogen, and pollutants, and the reconstruction of past environmental condi...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the TransMoP project, which examines how land degradation and climate change shape human mobility and staying in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan . Based at the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) in Halle, the successful candidate will lead the project’s geospatial analyses and work at the intersection of remote sensing, environmental change, and migration-related research. The role focuses on assessing water stress , veget...
