The Norwegian Polar Institute has two available positions within cryosphere remote sensing:
The first position is a 2-year postdoc on using radar altimetry for glacier and ice sheet mass balance, with a particular focus on the impact of melting and refreezing in the snowpack on CryoSat-2 backscatter and derived surface elevations. The main study sites will be Austfonna ice cap on Svalbard and several ice rises in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, where extensive validation data are available and will be collected in coming field season. Applications are to be submitted online within August 24th. More information can be found here:
The second availability is for a permanent position as a remote sensing analyst to work on development and operation of satellite-based applications for environmental monitoring, image analysis, data acquisition and management, and algorithm and applications development. The analyst will be working with projects relating to oceanography and sea ice, glacier and ice sheet monitoring, vegetation and snow cover mapping, as well as navigation and operational support. More information and online application form (open until August 28th) can be found here:
