The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada offers a visiting
fellowship for a postdoctoral position in remote sensing of ocean color.
The successful candidate will work on refining and developing algorithms
for the application and mapping of primary production estimates from
ocean color data in the Arctic. The position is located in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada.
Candidates should hold a PhD in marine sciences or remote sensing and
have experience with the use and application of ocean color remote
sensing data. Candidates with a background in polar marine research and
experience at sea in biological oceanography data collection, including
primary production, are encouraged to apply. Primary responsibilities
will include analysis of Arctic ocean color data (SeaWiFS, MODIS,
MERIS), ground-truthing of primary production estimates, ship-based or
camp-based data collection, and mapping of ocean color derived
estimates.
