Title: 2 postdocs in global crop monitoring @ Seoul National University

We are seeking two postdoctoral fellows for a recently funded 4 year

project for global crop monitoring. It will focus on corn, wheat, and

soybean. Those positions are available immediately and will be opened until

filled.

Postdoc 1 will work on crop type mapping by merging massive ground truth

data, machine learning techniques, and satellite remote sensing. Depending

on cloudiness, image fusion techniques could be applied. Landsat scale

outcomes will be delivered.

Postdoc 2 will investigate crop growth conditions (photosynthesis,

transpiration, stress) and yield mapping. It will combine developing

process based models via carbon allocation schemes (BESS-Corn, BESS-Wheat,

BESS-Soybean, check this: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.03.014)

and simple satellite remote sensing based approaches such as SIF and NIRv.

Contact to Youngryel Ryu (ryuyr77@gmail.com) if you are passionate for

those topics, have great ideas to achieve this complex, challenging task,

are learning animal, and are willing to join our adventure towards the

vision, ?A sustainable world where ecological information is available and

accessible to anyone.?  I will request cover letter, CV, and the names and

contact information of three references.

Seoul National University is located in the Gwanak Mountain, southern part

of the Seoul City in South Korea. Numerous mountain trails are accessible

in the campus whereas ?Gangnam?, the center of amusement in Seoul, is

within 30 min. There are diverse groups of international students/scholars.

There is a dormitory for international scholars which offers low cost, nice

housing for family or single.
