Postdoctoral Research Opportunities in
MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING OF SNOW AND ICE

Applications are sought for two postdoctoral positions for research
related
to microwave remote sensing and radiative transfer modeling of snow,
ice,
and frozen soil. One position is located at the National Operational
Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC), National Weather Service,
NOAA in
Chanhassen, Minnesota. The other position is located at the NASA
Goddard Space
Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland. Both positions are for up
to 3 years. Salary is commensurate with experience.

The microwave radiative transfer modeling will include both
scattering and emission in heterogeneous media (e.g. snow, soil,
and/or
vegetation) in the 1-90 GHz frequency range, and will depend strongly
on
observational data to be collected during the NASA Cold Land Processes
Experiment (CLPX) in 2002 and 2003. These data will include ground-,
airborne-, and satellite remote sensing observations with intensive
ground
truth. The microwave modeling will be closely integrated with physical
land
surface models of snow packs, soils, and vegetation. Research
objectives will
include development of methods for forward simulation of microwave
signatures from land surface models to support assimilation of
microwave
remote sensing data.

Successful candidates will have PhD-level experience with microwave
remote
sensing and computer simulations of microwave radiative transfer,
preferably
involving dense media theory and/or integral equation models.
Familiarity
with land surface process modeling would be useful. Programming skills
in C
or Fortran in a Linux/Unix environment are required, and familiarity
with IDL
or Matlab is highly desired. Good English oral and written
communication
skills are required. Successful candidates will be expected to
participate in
field data collection and processing activities, field deployment
preparations,
and the presentation of research results. 

Applications should include:
� A cover letter stating the specific name of this position
� Curriculum vitae with a list of publications
� Statement of research interests
� Ph.D. abstract, including title of thesis
� Names and addresses of three professional references

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until
a candidate is selected. U.S. citizenship is not required.
