I am recruiting a postdoc to join my research group in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department at Florida State University (FSU) beginning as early as Nov 2025. The postdoc will be initially supported for 12 months, with the possibility of extension through Nov 2026 depending on the performance. Benefits (e.g., family health insurance) will be provided in addition to a competitive salary.
PROJECTS
My group currently has multiple research projects funded by NSF, EPA, USDA, DoD, NASA and NASEM on the broad area of water resources and hydrology. The postdoc will primarily focus on analyses of land cover and vegetation over time via remote sensing. Given that my team works closely with various institutes (academic, government agencies, national labs etc.), there will be several opportunities for collaboration. The selected candidate will present the findings in peer-reviewed articles and conferences. It is also expected that the postdocs contribute to student mentoring and assist in writing research grants.
REQUIRED/DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS
- A doctoral degree in engineering (civil, agricultural, water resources or environmental), sciences (hydrology, environmental, geographical or Earth) or any closely related field
- Understanding of physical processes related to surface hydrology
- Strong computer programming (R, MATLAB or Python) as well as analytical and quantitative skills
- Proficiency in remote sensing techniques, analyses of satellite imagery, machine learning, deep learning stochastic, statistical, time series and geospatial analyses
- Independency, communication, presentation (oral and written), fast learning and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
ABOUT US
