CNES: 2-year postdoc in soil water remote sensing

A position is open for a young researcher to apply for a two-year CNES postdoc (the PhD thesis must be defended before the end of December 2022) on the remote sensing of soil moisture in the solar domain.

The job profiles in French and English are attached. Applications should be sent for the selection phase to S. Jacquemoud & Xavier Briottet, as soon as possible. Please find contacts in the French or English versions of the postdoc description.

The selected candidate will have to submit an online application on the CNES website before March 31, 2022. As these positions are very selective, only a candidate with an excellent scientific record will be considered.

Optical Society’s (OSA) 2021 Hyperspectral Imaging and Sounding of the Environment (HISE) meeting

Dear Colleagues,

The Optical Society’s (OSA) 2020 Hyperspectral Imaging and Sounding of the Environment (HISE) meeting will take place on 19 – 23 July 2021 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The meeting brings together researchers and industry leaders in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing of terrestrial, coastal, oceanic, and atmospheric phenomena and industrial processes. You can find more information about the meeting and the topic categories at http://www.osa.org/HISE.

We solicit presentations on recent advances in all aspects of active and passive hyperspectral remote sensing, including, but not limited to, instrumentation, image processing, information extraction through artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, radiative transfer modeling, atmospheric correction, algorithm development, data product retrieval, disaster response, and environmental monitoring.

The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, consisting of virtual and in-person (contingent on local rules and travel restrictions during the meeting dates) presentations. The inability to travel will not be a hindrance to participating and presenting at the meeting.

The deadline for submitting the abstract and summary paper is 02 March 2021. You can find more information about abstract submission at https://www.osa.org/en-us/meetings/osa_meetings/optical_sensors_and_sensing_congress/submit_papers/

We look forward to receiving an excellent collection of abstracts from the hyperspectral remote sensing community.

Regards,

2021 HISE Program Committee
