We are looking for a
candidate PhD to research in the area of remote sensing for forestry applications. The objectives are to find the best tools for mapping tree parameters, from single-tree scale to regional scale.
The successful candidate will work with
remote sensing technologies - optical-passive and active sensors like laser scanners and radar (SAR) - and latest
artificial intelligence methods for modelling forest variables of interest. She/he will compare existing measurement methodologies used in forestry with estimates from imagery and point cloud data and also investigate on the potential of creating
digital twins of forest environments to create eXtended Reality (XR) scenarios with rigorous metrics for educational and research purposes.
Deadline is around 1 september 2022 - Contact:

The TESAF Department at University of Padova together with CIRGEO, the Interdepartamental Research Center of Geomatics, are launching a call to find a suitable a candidate to work on the topic of remote sensing data analysis for
estimating fire-related variables in the context of a Horizon 2020 project (FIRE-RES).
The position is for a period of three years.
Applications are open from 1 December and will close as soon as the ideal candidate is found, ideally not after June 1.
The candidate should have successfully completed a full degree (graduate level or similar) and have skills in geospatial data management (GIS and similar tools), digital image analysis (SNAP/PCI/ENVI or similar tools) and programming in one or more of the following environments: R, Python, C/C++, Java, Javascript (preferably oriented towards the Google Earth Engine API). Very good command of English is required (speaking and writing);
If interested please contact directly
