• U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Coastal & Ocean Remote Sensing Branch in the Remote Sensing Division (Washington, DC) - post-doctoral research op on remote sensing of coastal ocean and sea ice processes using a combination of active and passive remote sensing and/or modeling. The research is expected to involve the use of any or a combination of airborne and spaceborne optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and lidar systems. Given that coastal ocean and sea ice dynamics occur at a range of spatial and temporal scales, a synergistic approach that takes advantage of the unique advantages of various remote sensing systems in an integrated manner is encouraged. With an emphasis on optical remote sensing, the selected applicant is expected to possess or have an eagerness to develop expertise in processing and analyzing (any of) optical, SAR, or lidar data, with knowledge and skill in several of the following areas: radiative transfer, data fusion, feature extraction, spectral analysis, spectral manipulation of data, polarimetry, and advanced image processing techniques, including statistical methods and machine learning approaches, for processing high-resolution multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. NRL has several ongoing research projects in the Arctic, focused on developing techniques and tools to understand and monitor environmental changes in the Arctic - including the nearshore environment, land-ocean interface, and sea ice. The selected candidate will have opportunities to participate in these projects, including field campaigns, as part of their post-doctoral research. NRL provides access to a number of commercial and custom-built sensing and imaging systems (hyperspectral, multispectral, thermal and polarimetric systems), calibration facilities, and computer resources to perform the work. U.S. citizens or permanent residents (Green Card holders) and must have obtained their Ph.D. within the last five years at the time of application. Students expected to graduate in 2025 are also eligible. A base stipend of $99,200 plus a professional travel allowance of $3,000 per year; Health insurance (individual & family coverage) and relocation benefits are available. Please contact Dr. Wes Moses (wesley.j.moses.civ@us.navy.mil) to express interest and receive instructions on applying.
