2 weeks ago
We are looking for a Research Engineer who would like to establish themselves at our Division of Forest Remote Sensing (FRS) in the long term, with tasks evolving into the support of research in data handling and deployment of computer processes in HPC procedures.
We work with developments of remote sensing methods for estimation of forest resources using multi-spectral cameras, laser scanners, and radar sensors (SLU FRS).
SLU's FRS Division has strong experience in the handling and computation with large country-wide datasets, such as remote sensing predictions carried out with Swedish national lidar and forest data (Skogligagrunddata), done by a multi-disciplinary team including both researchers and engineers.
New projects are giving European and global perspectives to the FRS Division, and we are searching for highly motivated Research Engineers who would be exited to become an essential part of these future developments.
About the positionThe tasks will be to develop and maintain a system to store and process georeferenced data (vector data, raster, point clouds).
The system will have defined APIs and handle user interactivity on the data.We will set up the infrastructure and develop an operational prototype of The ForestWard Observatory of Climate Change Impacts on Forests in Europe, under the Horizon Europe project FORWARDS (https:
//forwards-), for the collection and delivery of data and information from different networks of long-term monitoring and management. The system is to become a knowledge platform where datasets, resources, tools and other knowledge developed in FORWARDS will be integrated and made publicly available. The position will also involve participation in other projects, assisting researchers in tasks related to research, with very direct involvement in research and participation in research publications.
