University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway, Faculty of Science and Technology, has a PhD position vacant for applicants who wish to obtain the degree of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD).

 

The position is attached to the Department of Physics and Technology and the project «Change Detection in Heterogeneous Remote Sensing Images (Heterochange)» hosted by the research group in Earth Observation.

 

The appointment is for a period of three years.

 

The PhD position is for a fixed term, with the objective of completion of research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to a PhD programme is a prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position. The PhD Candidate shall participate in the faculty's organized research training, and the PhD project shall be completed during the period of employment. Information about the application process for admission to the PhD programme, application form and regulations for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) is available at our website.

 

Further information about the position and project details is available by contacting:

Associate Professor Stian Normann Anfinsen by email stian.normann.anfinsen (at) uit.no or telephone +47 776 45173.

 

The position's affiliation

The Faculty of Science and Technology consists of the following departments: Department of Chemistry, Department of Computer Science, Department of Engineering and Safety, Department of Geology, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and Department of Physics and Technology.

 

The Department of Physics and Technology consists of four research groups: Energy and Climate, Earth Observation, Space Physics, and Electrical Engineering. The department provides education at the Bachelor, Master, and PhD levels. The department comprises 17 permanent professors and a technical/administrative staff of 10 persons. The candidate will be associated with the Earth Observation research group at the Department of Physics and Technology. The group consists of four permanent academic staffs, three adjunct professors and several postdocs and PhD students.

 

The PhD position is associated to the project "Change detection in Heterogeneous Remote Sensing" funded by the Research Council of Norway.

 

The position's field of research

The successful candidate will do research in the field of pattern recognition and machine learning applied to Earth observation and satellite remote sensing. The research will make use of an archive of multitemporal and multisource satellite images. It will employ advanced methods from pattern recognition and machine learning, such as kernel methods and Markov random fields. The position will be connected to the Earth Observation Laboratory and will also work closely with the Machine Learning Laboratory at UiT.

 

The project "Change detection in Heterogeneous Remote Sensing"

This project funded by the Research Council of Norway aims to develop innovative method for change detection in heterogeneous satellite images of the Earth. The employed PhD student shall develop a suite of algorithms capable of detecting changes in both pairs and longer
