Research Scientist in Polar Earth Observation

We are seeking a highly skilled research scientist to investigate historical and ongoing changes in the Arctic and Antarctica.

The successful candidate will join a team of glaciologists at the University of Leeds, using satellite data to improve our understanding of ice sheet-ocean interactions, and the processes driving recent change.

The team uses state-of-the-art Earth observation data and advanced computer techniques to study the Polar regions, specializing in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and altimetry satellite data.

The successful candidate will work with Professor Anna E. Hogg to investigate ice sheet dynamics, and the impact of ice-ocean interactions on ice mass loss and sea level rise.

The research will involve processing satellite data to produce new glaciological and oceanographic geophysical datasets, including ice speed, which will enable us to examine the relationship between rapidly evolving regions of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets, and the Polar oceans which drive this change.

The successful candidate will have or be close to obtaining a PhD in a relevant subject such as remote sensing, physics, mathematics, computer science or environmental science.

Experience of processing satellite datasets for cryosphere, oceanographic or other disciplines is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will demonstrate an enthusiasm for scientific research and problem-solving, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to work as part of an international research team.
