Do you have experience in developing and implementing InSAR algorithms? Are you keen to apply your skills to scientific problem-solving? Would you like to join a world leading programme of Earth Observation research?
The Centre for Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) is seeking an InSAR scientist with skills in InSAR algorithm development, and scientific programming to play a leading role in COMET’s InSAR processing facility. COMET provides the UK with core strategic research in the exploitation of satellite measurements to study geohazards, using state-of-the-art Earth observation techniques, including Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR).
In this role, you will play a leading role in COMET’s automated InSAR processing facility in collaboration with the existing scientific teams. Although based in Leeds, you will support scientists across our partner universities and the British Geological Survey to access and utilise the InSAR facility, as well as liaising with strategic partner institutions, such as the European Space Agency (ESA) and National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO), on the acquisition and processing of InSAR data.
You will have a track record of research in technical aspects of InSAR, strong programming skills, an enthusiasm for scientific research and problem-solving, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to work as part of a team.
