The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) seeks a Research Associate to work on rapid and accurate quantification of disasters using remote sensing and space geodesy.
They will also advance InSAR processing algorithms to optimise change detection capability in Southeast Asia, where SAR analysis is complicated by tropospheric and ionospheric effects, dense vegetation, and soil moisture.
The candidate will work under the supervision of Associate Prof Sang-Ho Yun and will collaborate with the researchers from the InVEST project, a 5-year project that aims to provide a holistic understanding of regional tectonics, volcanoes, the linkages between the two, and their cascading hazards and impacts in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
We will be hiring a large number of research staff and students to work on this project, so it promises to be a very exciting time to join our team!
Qualifications and Skills
Master’s degree in a relevant field; expertise in processing and modelling geodetic data using open-source analysis tools; demonstrated track record of impactful research publications related to the position.
Strong English communication skills for stakeholder engagement.
Ability to write code using Python or MATLAB.
Desire and ability to work as part of a multicultural team; demonstrated ability for creating intellectual value.
Collaboration with large, interdisciplinary teams at EOS, the Asian School of the Environment (ASE), and the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE); experience developing algorithms and systems for disaster mapping and understanding geohazards; ability to work with space industries and responding agencies.
Key Responsibilities
Rapid generation of disaster maps (deformation and damage proxy) for earthquakes and volcanic activities.
Contribute to upgrading a disaster response support system for more effective and efficient response support.
Engage in collaborative discussions with team members and collaborators for InVEST.
Job Requirements
M.S. in geophysics, geology, geomatics, geodesy, electrical engineering, computer science, natural hazards, or a related field.
Demonstrated skills in remote sensing, image processing, inverse problems, and machine learning.
