The Geophysical Institute (GI) and the Department of Geology and
Geophysics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) seek applicants
to fill a joint tenure-track position in remote sensing. The position
offers opportunities for research at the GI as a member of the Earth and
Planetary Remote Sensing Group and carries the responsibility of
teaching 1-2 courses per year as a faculty member (quarter-time, 2.25
months/yr) in the Department of Geology & Geophysics. The appointment is
intended at the level of assistant or associate professor.
The successful applicant will pursue externally funded research focusing
on remote sensing of earth surface processes (such as coastal
environments, geomorphology & crustal deformation, environmental geology
& geophysics, or other relevant fields). Teaching will focus on
microwave remote sensing and complement existing strengths at UAF.
Research facilities include satellite ground receiving stations, an
image-processing and GIS teaching lab, and data archives. Opportunities
exist for collaboration with other groups within the GI and across
campus, such as the Alaska Satellite Facility, the Geographic
Information Network of Alaska, the Alaska Volcano Observatory, the
