    Default job background
    Description

    Job Posting Title:
    Postdoctoral Fellow - Wildfire Science and Technology-Hiring Department:Bureau of Economic Geology-Position Open To:All Applicants-Weekly Scheduled Hours:40

    • FLSA Status:

    Exempt-Earliest Start Date:Immediately-Position Duration:Expected to Continue Until Nov 19, Location:PICKLE RESEARCH CAMPUS-Job Details:General NotesThis position will support the research activities of a NASA FireSense Technology project.

    Pickle Research Campus in North Austin.

    PurposeWe are looking for a highly motivated individual to fill a 1-year postdoctoral fellow position (with the possibility of an extension based upon performance and project needs/funding) to assist with processing and interpretation of multispectral thermal infrared data of prescribed fires as part of a larger project on active fire (hot spot) detection, fire propagation modeling, 3D plume characterization, and assessing environmental impacts of fires.

    The aim of the project is to quantify the thermal and gas emissions from prescribed fires in 3D in near real-time using thermal infrared spectroscopy.

    This will help determine relationships between fire intensity and vegetation change, with the goal of predicting the gas emissions from prescribed and wildland fires.

    The postdoctoral fellow will join a team developing novel thermal infrared imagers for UAV deployment to characterize thermal and gas emission from wildland fires.

    The individual will be responsible for data collection, gas retrieval algorithm development, and thermodynamic modeling of wildfires, and evaluating vegetation change based on fire severity.

    The position requires the integration of multiple geophysical datasets and interpretations, and the development of new concepts and methods to automate the processing of field data in near real-time to provide insights to wildland fire commanders regarding thermal and gas dynamics, burn intensity, and rate of spread.

    Research and development of thermal infrared retrieval algorithms to characterize thermal and gas emissions from wildland fires in near real-time.

    Develop thermodynamic models of wildland fire propagation and evaluate the impact of fire severity on vegetation change based on field results which will involve code development/automation, data collection and processing, and analysis and visualization of results.

    Publish quality research results in peer-reviewed publications.
    D. in geophysics, geology, or related field. Demonstrate experience of thermodynamical analysis of high temperature natural phenomenon. Ability to develop code/algorithms in Python or other similar platforms. Excellent data analytical skills. Demonstrated report writing and publication skills. Preferred QualificationsSome experience working on wildland fire research. Knowledge of environmental impacts (ecosystems and air quality) of wildland fires and responses to prescribed burning. Experience with writing professional-level codes as well as software for potential end users.
    Uniforms and/or personal protection equipment (furnished)
    May work around standard office conditions
    Occasional weekend, overtime, and evening work to meet deadlines

    Other:
    will be working around active prescribed firesRequired Materials
