Seeking Post Doc Applicant in Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing
The Geophysical Institute and ACEP, University of Alaska Fairbanks are
seeking applications for a Post-Doctoral position in the field of thermal infrared remote sensing, specifically as applied to geothermal exploration. The selected candidate will join the remote sensing group at the Geophysical Institute, UAF (www.gi.alaska.edu/remsense/),
will be working in close collaboration with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (www.uaf.edu/acep/),
and will be leading the task on airborne thermal infrared data acquisition, processing, and interpretation.
Experience in use of thermal infrared imaging equipment, airborne data acquisition planning, image mosaicing and georeferencing, and thermal infrared data interpretation is required. A strong background in geology and geophysics, GIS, and computational skills is beneficial. The work will involve limited field work and interaction with community members in Alaska. Good interpersonal and communication (oral and written) skills are highly desired.
Applicants should have PhD degree (already received, or having completed all requirements and waiting graduation) in a relevant discipline. Duties include
working with the project to set-up an airborne data acquisition system that will acquire images in visible through infrared regions of the spectrum, along with potentially other instruments; flight planning and coordinating with field crew for reference data collection; supervision of data acquisition campaign; data processing (image mosaicing; georeferencing; integrating in a GIS system); data analysis and interpretation (generating target exploration maps, quantitative estimates of geothermal prospect); and publishing results and communicating results to research/community partners.
As the data acquisition is planned for summer 2010, recruitment will take place at the earliest. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact
