[GLIMS] University Assistant / PhD-position with the focus on remote sensing of the cryosphere

[Tobias Bolch]

Dear colleagues,

I am offering a *Position of a University Assistant / PhD-position with 
the focus on remote sensing of the cryosphere *(one focus will be on 
rock glaciers and geomorphological processes in high mountain areas) 
within the working group Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry at the 
Institute of Geodesy, Graz University of Technology, Austria.

Workload: 40 hours / week, intended starting date: *01.04.2023*, for 4 
years. End of the application period: 08.03.2023, 24:00 CET.

Please find more information below. Do not hesitate to contact me in 
case you have any questions.

Best regards,

Tobias Bolch


*/Background/*

The *Working Group Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry *at the Institute 
of Geodesy at TU Graz focusses on the investigation and monitoring of 
different components of the crysophere as well as hazards in different 
mountain regions of the Earth with the focus on the Austrian Alps and 
High Mountain Asia. For this we apply different optical and microwave 
remote sensing data and develop methods and algorithm to map different 
land cover types and objects and assess and monitor their changes.We 
also teach basic and advanced remote sensing and photogrammetry at 
bachelor and master level with the focus on the physical background, 
algorithms and relevant applications.

*/Specifics and Responsibilities of the Position/*

The candidate should contribute to the research of the group and apply 
and further develop remote sensing and photogrammetric methods and 
generate digital elevation models from various sources to identify and 
monitor glaciers, rock glaciers and geomorphological processes in high 
mountain areas. He/she should develop related software and algorithms 
and also perform field work with detailed measurements using UAVs and 
Laser scanners. He/she is expected to write a PhD thesis and scientific 
articles. Moreover, the candidate should support the teaching activities 
of the working group and supervise Bachelor and Master theses.

*/Required Qualifications/*:

Prerequisite is a MSc in Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, or Geography or 
similar subject with the focus on remote sensing or a similar 
qualification at a national or international school or university. 
Profound knowledge in remote sensing and photogrammetry and relevant 
software packages (ErdasImagine, Geomatica, SNAP, Agisoft or similar) as 
well as experiences in working with different optical sensors are 
expected. Experiences with different microwave sensors and data 
acquisition with UAVs and laser-scanners are an advantage.

The candidate should be proficient in at least one programming language 
(e.g. C++, Python). Moreover he/she should be fluent in English and have 
at least some basic knowledge in German or is willing to learn the 
German language. Knowledge in glaciology and geomorphological processes 
are an advantage but not a prerequisite.

We offer a *minimum annual gross salary based on full-time of € 
45,882.20, overpayment possible depending on qualification and experience*.

Graz University of Technology actively promotes diversity and equal 
opportunities.

People with disabilities and who have the relevant qualifications are 
expressly invited to apply.

We look forward to your complete application (incl. motivation letter, 
CV, list of publications and presentations) at our TU Graz job portal 
(https://jobs.tugraz.at/en/jobs/ea070ac6-7098-7063-09a8-63ce80f78bc8/apply) 
before the end of the application period.
