Internal Research Fellow (PostDoc) in EO for Polar Science

Job Requisition ID: 18790

Date Posted: 8 October 2024

Closing Date: 5 November 2024 23:59 CET/CEST

Directorate: Earth Observation Programmes

As the holder of this two-year post, you will report to the Head of the Science Section in the Green Solutions Division within the Climate Actions, Sustainability and Science Department of the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. In the execution of your tasks, you will work in close cooperation with other staff in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes.

The Science Section is a dynamic R&D team leading Earth Observation (EO) research and Earth system and climate science activities in partnership with European and international scientific groups.

You will be part of the Earth System Science Hub, a new science facility at ESA and centre for networking and scientific collaboration among world-class researchers in ESA Member States (MS) and worldwide. The Hub brings together young and senior scientists from various disciplines in Earth Observation and Earth System Science to contribute to developing the next generation of EO products and jointly address some of the major science challenges of this decade.

The Hub relies on the latest advances in open data science, cloud computing and HPC capabilities, offering a collaborative environment for advanced science and research development.

Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship

You will focus on advancing our EO-based capacity to observe, understand and predict changes in the polar regions. You will use state-of-the-art, advanced methods, such as novel algorithms, sensor synergy, AI/machine learning and modelling, to improve understanding of complex processes, feedbacks and potential impacts. Priority will be given to enhancing observations and understanding in one of the following subdomains:

  • Ice-sheet changes and their impact at regional and global scale
  • Dynamics of glaciers and ice caps
  • Interactions between ice shelves, tidewater glaciers and the ocean/atmosphere
  • Ice-sheet supra- or sub-glacial hydrology
  • Sea ice dynamics, interactions and feedbacks in the Earth system

As well as undertaking independent and collaborative research activities, you will also contribute to the coordination and implementation of the activities of the ESA Polar Science Cluster.

You will be responsible for various activities, including:

  • Undertaking advanced research addressing major observational gaps and scientific priorities in EO, polar and Earth system science.
  • Contributing to the advancement of our understanding of the Earth and climate system based on advanced EO data, models and AI.
  • Supporting the definition, technical supervision and coordination of scientific exploitation projects carried out by external teams of experts and scientists in all areas of EO research and Earth system science.
  • Maintaining a continuous dialogue with the scientific communities, including major international programmes and initiatives.
Minimum Requirements
  • Research/publication record.
  • Ability to conduct research autonomously.
  • Breadth of exposure coming from past and/or current research/activities.
  • Ability to gather and share relevant information.
  • General interest in space and space research.
  • Good analytical and communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a multicultural environment in an autonomous manner.
Education

You should have recently completed or be close to completion of a PhD in physics, engineering or Earth system science with research experience and peer-reviewed publications in relevant topics for the fields of research proposed.

Preference will be given to applications submitted by candidates within five years of receiving their PhD.

Additional Requirements
  • Proven research experience based on the use of relevant satellite measurements.
  • Science software development experience and programming skills.
  • Additional experience in modelling will be an asset.

The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness

ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, beliefs, age, disability or other characteristics. Applications from women are encouraged.

Important Information and Disclaimer
