Post Doctoral Fellow
Remote Sensing & Image Integration
CSIRO
Perth
$47K - 60K + superannuation

The Remote Sensing and Image Integration project conducts research and applications to provide information for improved assessment and management of Australia's natural resources. The emphasis is on methods which measure and monitor changes in terrestrial and marine environments, by integrating variables derived from sequences of remotely sensed data with those derived from other spatial data. To help achieve this, the project aims to explore the use of Hierarchical Bayesian models for spatial and temporal data and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for parameter estimation and propagation of uncertainty.

The successful applicant should have a PhD in either statistics, mathematics or computing. The position is for 3 years and will be based in Perth.
