We have three PhD Positions available at the newly established Remote Sensing Centre for Earth System Research ([RSC4Earth](https://rsc4earth.de/)) in Leipzig, Germany on

1. Deep Learning for Vegetation Parameter Retrieval from Spectral Data
2. Reservoir Computing Predicts Ecosystem Anomalies
3. Understanding Forest Stress from High-dimensional Data Cubes

We look for people with ideally

- Enthusiasm for understanding the complexity of Earth system dynamics
- Proficiency in multivariate statistics, machine learning, optimisation and interest in learning about dynamical systems or ecosystem ecology
- Good programming / scripting skills (Python, Julia, R … )
- Experience in working with state-of-the-art remote sensing data or zarr-data cubes etc…

… but we are fully aware that a PhD project is a time for learning! So if these items catch your attention please have a look at the description and don’t hesitate to get in touch: [Job altert](https://rsc4earth.de/media/RSC4Earth%20PhD%20Projects%202021.pdf)

Rien ne va plus! We have (too) many excellent applications already.
