About the Position
The University of Oslo invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Active Learning for Arctic Observing Systems within the Department of Geosciences. This prestigious postdoctoral role aims to advance the design of intelligent, data-driven environmental observing systems that can dynamically adapt and learn from ongoing measurements. The research will focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of Arctic monitoring related to carbon, water, and energy exchanges through cutting-edge integration of Bayesian inference, probabilistic modelling, and machine learning.
The successful candidate will join a highly interdisciplinary research team that combines atmospheric science, remote sensing, and data science to tackle urgent questions about Arctic change. The position includes extensive fieldwork in mainland Norway, Svalbard, and international Arctic sites, using drone-based and satellite observations to support model development. The postdoc will also benefit from strong opportunities for international collaboration, conference participation, and research exchange with leading institutions worldwide, fostering both academic excellence and professional growth.
