Nanyang Technological University is looking for a Research Assistant to join the Climate Transformation Programme (CTP) Cross Cutting Theme 2: Satellite Remote Sensing. You will analyze satellite data to map and monitor climate change impacts and solutions across Southeast Asia, with a focus on hazards and disasters.
What You'll Do
- Analyze and interpret remote sensing data to understand natural hazards and disasters across Southeast Asia.
- Develop and conduct research projects both independently and as part of a team.
- Write up research results for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
- Present results at conferences.
- Collaborate with other Research Assistants and Associates.
What We're Looking For
- A Bachelor’s degree in Earth science, geophysics, geodesy, physics, civil/electrical engineering, natural hazards, computer vision, machine learning, or a related field.
- Demonstrated expertise in processing SAR data with open-source tools such as ISCE or GMTSAR for surface deformation measurement and change mapping.
- A strong track record of publishing research relevant to the position in Tier 1 journals.
- Evidence of the ability to write and present at the level required for peer-reviewed scientific journals and international conferences.
- Evidence of independence in research direction and team spirit.
Nice to Have
- Expertise in analyzing satellite remote sensing data from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multi/hyper-spectral sensors for measuring ground deformation, mapping surface changes, and mapping ocean parameters.
- Experience applying machine learning to InSAR and other remote sensing observations.
- Ability to write code using Python or MATLAB.
- Desire and ability to work as part of a multicultural team.
Technical Stack
- SAR, Multi/hyper-spectral remote sensing, LiDAR, GNSS data
- ISCE, GMTSAR
- Python, MATLAB
