The Geomathematics, Remote Sensing and Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder Boulder
has an opportunity for a fully funded PhD candidate to conduct research as a team member in our project
``Element: Software: Data-Driven Auto-Adaptive Classification of Cryospheric Signatures as Informants for Ice-Dynamic Models".
The project is funded by the National Science Foundation Programs for Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI)
and Arctic Natural Systems (ANS). The PhD support is for 3 years.
The objectives of the project include development of an open-source cyber-infrastructure domain that facilitates auto-adaptive analysis, parameterization and classification based on large satellite image and other remote sensing data sets and derivation of a data-modeling link that directly connects data-driven parameters with cryospheric constraints. First applications are planned for dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets as well as sea ice, later applications will be of a more general nature.
This PhD opportunity may be most suited for students in Computer Sciences and Applied Mathematics; it is also open to students in geophysics, electrical engineering, computational physics, mathematics, aerospace engineering or a geoscience. Applicants can get a PhD in any of these disciplines, as adequate to their goals and training.
The research requires creativity and solid knowledge in mathematics, a background or interest in cryospheric science and proficiency in coding.
Cross-links to other ongoing projects in our group exist and some of those may offer the additional opportunity to participate in geophysical data collection in the Arctic.
The Geomathematics Laboratory is housed in the
Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and also a part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), both at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Women and men are equally encouraged to apply, and students from minority and non-academic backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
International collaboration has always been an important component of our research.
Everyone knows that Boulder, Colorado, is one of THE places to live and study in an inspiring academic environment both at the university and in the thriving research environment along the front range, with some of the world's best outdoors all around.
Applications and Start date: You can apply by submitting a letter of interest, an academically focused resume and (inofficial) transcripts starting today
and through Spring 2019 (May), by email to ute.herzfeld@colorado.edu. You can start as early as Feb 2019 up to August 2019.
Application deadlines to the PhD program depend on the specific discipline of your interest (best to send me specific inquiries).
The opportunity is also open to students currently enrolled in a graduate program at CU Boulder.
