Postdoctoral researcher in satellite remote sensing (glaciology)

£39,906 - £46,049 a year

Offer description

As part of the UKRI funded Glaciers and Ice Sheets in a Warming World project, we have an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher who has specific expertise in satellite remote sensing to join the project team. This post is fixed term until 31 January 2028. The focus of your work during the project will be on the remote sensing of icebergs in Greenland's fjords, with the potential to up-scale around the Arctic, in addition to the behaviour of the regions marine terminating glaciers using optical, SAR, DEM and/or altimetry data. This work will help address research questions related to marine terminating glacier stability, changes in iceberg calving behaviour, and the trajectories and lifespans of icebergs. This will involve working with satellite data currently held in the cloud, meaning that familiarity with one or more cloud-based platforms such as Google Earth Engine, Microsoft Planetary Computer and/or Amazon Web Server/similar is essential. It will also involve the development of automated workflows for the analysis of existing remote sensing data archives and potentially near-real time analysis. You will work with the Principal Investigator (Professor. James Lea) to agree a programme of work that both delivers project aims and draws on your strengths. There will also be opportunities to pursue your own research ideas related to the overall project aims. Pre-existing knowledge of and working with data from glacial environments is desirable, though candidates who currently apply remote sensing techniques to non-glacial environments and have ideas for how their knowledge could be transferred will be considered and are actively encouraged to apply. If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31. Commitment to Diversity The University of Liverpool is committed to enhancing workforce diversity. We actively seek to attract, develop, and retain colleagues with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We welcome applications from all genders/gender identities, Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, individuals living with a disability, and members of the LGBTQIA community.
