Postdoctoral Researcher: Urban Land Cover and Land Use Change
4 days ago
Join the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Earth Science Section, where you will have the unique opportunity to engage in groundbreaking research and contribute to the understanding of our changing planet.
Project OverviewThe rapid growth of urban settlements, combined with climate change and the urban heat island effect, has increased the risk of extreme heat exposure. For example, in the Indian subcontinent, fast-developing cities have experienced a significant rise in the frequency, intensity, and duration of heatwaves, posing a threat to nearly a billion people who regularly experience temperatures exceeding 100F during summers.
Research FocusThe project team is searching for a postdoc who will use a combination of thermal infrared Earth observation data from the VIIRS, ECOSTRESS, and Landsat sensors, combined with visible shortwave infrared data to answer a set of key science questions related to the intersection of urban growth and extreme heat emergence for the Indian subcontinent:
- What is the impact of heatwaves (large-scale advective driven) versus the urban heat island (local-scale convective driven) on the intra-urban thermal footprint of each city?
- From city growth over the past decade (from 2013-2023), where does rapid urban growth and extreme heat emergence intersect in each of the cities?
- What are the dominant thermal properties of different urban LCLU classes that contribute to the day and nighttime surface urban heat island effect?
The appointee will carry out research in collaboration with the JPL advisor, resulting in publications in the open literature. Applicants may be subject to additional program requirements (by NASA). Postdoc positions are awarded for a minimum of one-year period and may be renewed up to a maximum of three years.
What We OfferJPL has a catalog of benefits and perks that span from the traditional to the unique. This includes a variety of health, dental, vision, wellbeing, and retirement plans, paid time off, learning, rideshare, childcare, flexible schedule, parental leave and many more. Our focus is on work-life balance, and living healthy, fulfilling lives as we Dare Mighty Things Together.
