Ph.D. position available in geospatial patternand trend detection – University of Waterloo, Canada

Position Description:
A 3-year funded Ph.D. position is available at the University of Waterloo, Canada to conduct research into novel statistical and computational methods for geospatial pattern and trend detection in the context of interdisciplinary research on landscape and climate change. This research is motivated by the need to account for the multiplicity of tests in the application of large numbers of spatially replicated hypothesis tests to detect significant patterns and trends in multitemporal remote sensing data or climate model outputs.

PhD position: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Mapping of Intercropping Systems

Project Description: 

Remote sensing technologies have been extensively used in agricultural planning and management. Nevertheless, the technologies are not fully capable in various scenarios. In the context of a tropical country like Malaysia, cloud-cover prevents satellite-based optical sensors from capturing viable data in a timely fashion, whereas airborne-based approaches, as on-demand acquisition, can be very costly.

University of Stirling funded PhD project

The aims of this studentship are:

(1) to evaluate the transferability of satellite-based models of phytoplankton primary production developed for oceans to lakes;

(2) to apply the model(s) to the satellite datasets for selected UK and international lakes to generate primary production time-series; Sigue leyendo →

Fully-funded PhD in development of a UAV-based landslide monitoring system

Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship, jointly-funded by the British Geological Survey and Newcastle University, commencing September 2013. This will focus on the development of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based landslide monitoring system. The PhD will be based in the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University, and will involve close collaboration with scientists from the British Geological Survey (BGS). UK and EU applicants are eligible for the full studentship, and the position will remain open until filled.

 

Application Deadline: 30 June 2013

Convocatoria “Acciones Conjuntas Hispano-Alemanas 2014”

Se trata del antiguo programa “Acciones Integradas” que ahora se reinicia con la Fundación para la proyección internacional de las universidades españolas – Universidad.es. Tiene como objetivo apoyar la carrera de jóvenes investigadores que estén integrados actualmente en algún grupo de investigación, aunque el programa prevé también una serie de ayudas para catedráticos e investigadores posdoctorales españoles que formen parte del mismo grupo.

Las ayudas de esta convocatoria van destinadas a financiar únicamente la movilidad de los grupos de investigadores de ambos países que trabajen en un proyecto conjunto, proyecto que ya debe contar con financiación propia. Sigue leyendo →

Cursos intensivos de lengua Erasmus (EILC)

Los EILC (Erasmus Intensive Language Courses o Cursos Intensivos de Lengua Erasmus) son cursos especializados e intensivos de las lenguas menos difundidas y menos enseñadas de los países y regiones que participan en el programa sectorial Erasmus del Programa de Aprendizaje Permanente (no existen EILC de alemán, español, francés e inglés.)

Se dirigen a estudiantes que disfrutarán de una beca Erasmus de estudios o de prácticas en uno de los países o regiones que los organizan. Los estudiantes que hayan realizado el curso pueden recibir una ayuda suplementaria a la beca de movilidad
