Research Associate in Remote and Proximal Sensing | Research Associate (m/f/x) in Remote and Proximal Sensing

Job Summary

This Research Associate position at TUD Dresden University of Technology involves crucial work within a large consortium project focused on quantifying the impact of drought stress and forest thinning on European beech stands in Saxony, Germany. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating and executing regular Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) campaigns, processing multispectral and thermal infrared drone and satellite imagery, and developing robust procedures to derive crown water status and morphological condition. A key focus is the development of data-driven approaches for scaling single-tree vitality results to stand and landscape scales for extensive monitoring. This role requires a Master's degree in Remote Sensing or a related field, strong programming skills (R, Python), and mandatory possession of a German Class B driver's license. It offers an inspiring, international, and interdisciplinary environment with access to cutting-edge remote sensing and computing resources, providing excellent opportunities to develop one's scientific profile.
