Role Description

We welcome applications from passionate, talented, and dedicated individuals to help develop the next generation of AI-powered remote sensing technologies for monitoring landscape change and environmental sustainability at scale.

About the Role

We are seeking an ambitious Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Landscape Observatory at Cranfield, an exciting research initiative developing advanced Remote Sensing and Artificial Intelligence capabilities for environmental monitoring. You will develop and apply state-of-the-art deep learning methods for land cover classification and change detection using multi-source aerial and satellite imagery. Working within an interdisciplinary team and supported by cutting-edge HPC and GPU infrastructure, you will contribute to internationally leading research, publish in high-impact journals and present your work at major scientific conferences.

About You

You will be educated to doctoral level in Remote Sensing, Geography, Geoinformatics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning or a related discipline. You will have experience developing deep learning models using frameworks using PyTorch and possess strong Python programming skills. Experience working with Remote Sensing datasets and geospatial technologies such as GDAL or RioXarray is essential. You should have knowledge of semantic segmentation, time-series analysis and modern AI approaches together with a developing publication record appropriate to your career stage.

Experience with High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, geospatial foundation models, large-scale geospatial processing or cloud-based Earth Observation platforms would be advantageous.

You will be a highly motivated researcher with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication abilities and a passion for delivering impactful environmental research.
