Postdoctoral Associate
About The Position
We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher in the Hydrologic Innovation and Remote Sensing Lab of the Geoscience Department, Virginia Tech. The NASA-funded research includes a prediction of groundwater resources using multiple remote sensing technologies and quantification of related hazards, including water resource overdraft, land subsidence, flooding, and anthropogenic and climate droughts. The accepted candidate will apply a suite of statistical and physical models for integrating observations of different accuracies, improving predictions of water resources and/or predicting future hazards.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Earth Sciences, Geodesy, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Sciences, Civil & Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong skills in technical programming languages, e.g., Matlab, Python, or C++; in computational statistics, i.e., unsupervised and supervised ML methods, incl. deep learning.
- Experience with at least two of the following: remote sensing of surface and ground water resources, analysis of satellite gravimetry (GRACE) data, analysis of radar and optical remote sensing, poromechanical modeling, and elastic crustal load modeling.
Nice To Haves
- Knowledge of Remote sensing of surface water quality, numerical modeling, GIS, leadership and advising skills, teaching, & writing experience.
