PhD positions in earth observation/remote sensing, Norway

PhD positions in earth observation/remote sensing
Description : 3-5 PhD positions in earth observation/remote sensing are available at the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Tromsø, Norway. The University of Tromsø has 3-5 vacant research fellow positions in earth observation/remote sensing for applicants who would like to complete a PhD degree. The positions are organized under the Department of Physics and Technology, and the research fellows will be enrolled in the Barents Remote Sensing School (BARESS), which is a research school in earth observation at the University of Tromsø. The desired research area is Earth observation/remote sensing, specifically using SAR (synthetic aperture radar) and PolSAR (polarimetric SAR) data, addressing research problems like: • change detection, • marine target detection (ships, icebergs, oil spill), • sea surface dynamics studies (wind, waves, currents), • land cover classification (vegetation, forest, sea ice, glaciers), • physical and/or statistical modelling, • methodology for data analysis and multi-sensor data fusion. The successful applicants must document background in mathematics and physics, and one or several of the subjects: statistics, signal and image processing, and pattern recognition. Applicants should describe their interests and relate their background with respect to the above mentioned research topics.
