Postdoc Position 1 (12 Months)
The Post-Doctoral Research Fellow will assist in the development of a hydromorphological classification of Irish Rivers and its application to flood management in selected areas. As part of this project, the PDRF will work with an existing geospatial data to develop a catchment-scale classification of the hydrological and geomorphic characteristics of Irish rivers. The role of the researcher is to interpret, disseminate and lead the publication of results from this dataset. This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator. The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.

This 1-year interdisciplinary programme draws on drone, GIS and remote sensing technologies and their application to understanding the physical, biological and chemical changes underlying environmental change. The programme has been developed to help meet increased demand for graduates with experience in drone technology and/or the skills required to work in and conduct research into environmental science and climate change. There is a strong focus in the course on practice-based learning of drones and their applications including an overseas field trip where students will plan and execute a drone mission to collect environmental data. Additional practical skills will be taught using industry standard GIS/remote sensing software and Python and Matlab programming languages. Real-world examples, combined with teaching of advanced theoretical knowledge and understanding within environmental science will enable students to undertake their research project in a variety of areas including the cryosphere, oceanography, hydrology and geomorphology. Graduates with skills in drone, GIS and remote sensing technologies are highly sought after by a range of employers and LJMU postgraduate students have an excellent employability record with 96% (HESA 2017) in work or further study six months after graduation. We invite applicants with a minimum of an upper second-class honours undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) in geography, environmental science or a related field. Applicants with degrees in other numerate disciplines, including physical science and engineering, will also be considered. Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) are organising a “Career Event” at Coleraine University from 12:00 to 15:00 on Wednesday 25th March in U123.
