In order to increase the share of women in the research group Microwave Remote Sensing (MRS) at the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation (GEO), we are offering a Geo4Women summer job to a female student who is interested in remote sensing.

The MRS group (https://mrs.geo.tuwien.ac.at/) engages in fundamental remote sensing research and develops methods, algorithms and open source code in Python for processing remote sensing data in order to generate value-added products such as soil moisture, vegetation optical depth, wetland maps, drought-warning indicators, and others. Furthermore, the group develops novel applications by collaborating with scientists from many other fields such as hydrology, climate change, meteorology and agronomy.

You will support one of the teams in specific research projects dealing with the topics described above. Please see our projects and our recent publications for reference. We ask you to write a short proposal about the specific topic you would be most interested working on. Details of the tasks will be defined upon start of the contract based on your qualifications and interests.
