PhD scholarship: Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Greenland’s Firn Tipping Point DTU Space, part of the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark, is recruiting a PhD student for a three-year research project on Greenland’s firn and its role in future sea-level rise. Greenland’s firn—the porous, compacted snow layer on the ice sheet—can currently refreeze a substantial amount of summer meltwater. This storage capacity is finite, however, and the project will investigat...

DARE is hiring a Postdoctoral Associate in Machine Learning and Remote Sensing to contribute to global-scale mapping of critical water infrastructure. The position is part of the Dynamic Atlas of Riverine Ecosystems and Infrastructure (DARE) project. The postdoctoral researcher will work on applying machine learning, remote sensing, and geospatial data analysis to understand and map water infrastructure at a global scale, with connections to hydrology and riverine ecosystems. The researcher will...

The University of Eastern Finland is recruiting three doctoral researchers for the School of Computing on the Kuopio campus to join the ERC-funded MINE-THE-GAP project. The project combines satellite imagery, mining data reports, and AI to study mining activities and their impacts worldwide, with a focus on improving transparency and sustainability in mining. Each doctoral researcher will lead an individual thesis within one of three research themes: mapping mining land use through semantic segm...

The Laboratory of Visual Intelligence for Transportation (VITA) at EPFL is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop new methods for remote sensing within a broader research agenda spanning Generative AI, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Human-Robot Interaction.

The research will investigate next-generation geospatial foundation models and emerging artificial intelligence methods, including vision–language models, multimodal large language models, agentic AI ...

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 ...

The University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Earth System Science to work with Professor Henri Drake on a project focused on synchronous ice sheet–Earth system modeling. The research is centered on understanding how grounded ice sheets, floating ice shelves, icebergs, and sea ice interact with the ocean and influence global climate dynamics. The selected scholar will work with computational models to investigate two-way feedbacks in the cryosphere–o...
