PhD Research Fellow in Active Learning for Arctic observing systems

Position as PhD Research Fellow in Active Learning for Arctic observing systems available at the Department of Geosciences. Starting date as soon as possible. The fellowship period is 3 years. A fourth year may be considered with a workload of 25 % that may consist of teaching, supervision duties, and/or research assistance, dependent on qualification and department needs. No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.

The PhD fellow will contribute to the development of an observing system for land‑atmosphere fluxes of carbon, water, and energy in Arctic environments. Observations from eddy flux towers, drone‑borne meteorological sensors and gas analyzers, soil sensors, and satellite imagery are fused with land‑surface models using data assimilation. The goal is to develop an adaptive experimental design framework for the observing system to ...
