Job description
About the role
Cherokee Federal is seeking a Postdoctoral Remote Sensing Scientist in Lafayette, United States. The role advances research on coastal wetland change and ecosystem responses to extreme events at landscape, regional, and global scales.
Responsibilities
- Conduct scientific literature reviews related to remote sensing, GIS analysis, landscape ecology, coastal wetland ecosystems, and habitats being mapped or analyzed.
- Advance the production and analysis of remotely sensed data to assess coastal wetland change, support restoration planning, evaluate restoration effectiveness, and inform future ecosystem predictions.
- Acquire, develop, organize, document, and analyze long-term remote-sensing data to measure spatial and temporal change in coastal wetland ecosystems.
- Execute experiments using remotely sensed imagery, spatial-analysis outputs, and innovative geospatial methods.
- Apply machine-learning and deep-learning techniques to remote-sensing imagery and spatial data, as appropriate to project needs.
- Integrate existing geospatial information, including historical climate data, vegetation-change products, and other environmental datasets, with newly developed remote-sensing products.
- Apply knowledge of landscape ecology and coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics to advance understanding of coastal wetland changes using geospatial analyses and remote sensing.
- Produce custom geospatial products and analytical outputs that support research on the ecological effects of extreme events occurring in recent decades.
- Develop and maintain complete, accurate documentation for project activities, datasets, data-production processes, technical methods, and analytical procedures.
- Maintain project status records.
