JOB DESCRIPTION:
SAIC is seeking an assistant research scientist to contribute to the analysis of hydrologic variables through the use of remote sensing and machine-learning approaches. The candidate is expected (1) to explore retrieval techniques and uncertainties associated with spaceborne measurements of snow depth and snow melt using networks of ground-based observations such as time lapse cameras and machine learning tools and (2) to help develop and assess a deep-learning model for land hydrology to map water availability. The candidate should have experience in cryospheric science, snow remote sensing and ground-based observation networks and be comfortable using machine learning approaches to analyze results. The individual will be expected to present results in peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations. Experience in organizing meetings, project coordination, and writing and reviewing technical reports is also expected.
Qualifications
