Job opening – Researcher (m/f) in the field of earth observation and land surface modeling for water resources and vegetation monitoring over the Alps

Aug 8, 2024

The Institute of Earth Observation – Eurac Research is looking for a Researcher in the field of earth observation and land surface modeling for water resources and vegetation monitoring over the Alps

The selected candidate will work on activities within project work package 1, “High Resolution Hydrological and Climate Data,” and will have the opportunity to collaborate with an internationally recognized and highly competent partnership. WP1 aims to equip water managers, decision-makers, and scientists with the tools to better understand past, monitor current, and forecast future drought events, as well as predict the effects of
climate change on Alpine water resources. This will be achieved by delivering high-resolution hydrological and climate data. A key activity in WP1 is the development of processing chains to estimate high-resolution Snow Water Equivalent, Soil Moisture, and Evaporation from satellite data,
providing an unprecedented level of spatial detail across the entire Alpine region. From these datasets, drought indices will be derived. The successful candidate will focus specifically on Evaporation modeling.
