PhD 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 Department of Conservation Biology at the University of Göttingen is offering a PhD position in the Junior Research Group Ecological Novelty on forest dynamics in permafrost regions. The project focuses on rapidly changing boreal ecosystems and the vegetation, carbon, and climate feedbacks associated with permafrost thaw and landscape transformation. The successful candidate will join a newly established, internationally connected research group working at the intersection of process-based m...

PhD opening in terrestrial and cryo-hydrological gravimetry at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, within the Department of Geodesy, Section 1.2 Global Geomonitoring and Gravity Field. The project is part of the ERC Synergy Grant SnowShifts , focused on shifts in snow regimes in extreme environments and on improving understanding of snow volume, snow mass, and their dynamics in the Earth and climate system. The PhD researcher will work on high-resolution snow mass quant...

Coming soon: 1 Postdoc + 2 PhD positions in the new TransMoP research team at the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) . The project examines how land degradation , climate change , and related environmental factors shape migration and immobility in rural Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan . The research combines Earth observation , remote sensing , household surveys , quantitative analysis , and qualitative research to understand how environmental change influence...
