Senior Research Fellow - Remote Sensing (Level C)
The School of the Environment | Earth Observation Research Centre
Based at EcoSciences Precinct, Dutton Park
About This Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Research Fellow in Remote Sensing to contribute their extensive scientific leadership skills and high-level expertise in remote sensing and spatial science, computing, data science, geography and landscape ecology. The Senior Research fellow will lead and direct research and development of remote sensing and satellite image processing methods as part of a collaborative University and State Government partnership that focusses on “research to operations” in support of programs and policy that are addressing some of Queensland’s, Australia’s and the world’s most significant environmental challenges, often over large areas.
This position is funded by the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment, Tourism, Science, and Innovation (DETSI) and the incumbent will be expected to work closely with the Joint Remote Sensing Research Program (JRSRP) and DETSI team in helping to undertake priority research tasks and in the day-to-day application of that research for operational outcomes. The position will ideally be primarily located with the DETSI team at the EcoSciences Precinct, Dutton Park, Brisbane, but flexible work arrangements can be negotiated. You will leverage your established record of achievement and recognition in the discipline(s) to continue to maintain and develop your own reputation and that of the partnership.

Manager, Earth Observation Data Calibration and Validation
Geoscience Australia is Australia's pre-eminent public sector geoscience organisation. We are the nation's trusted advisor on the geology and geography of Australia. We apply science and technology to describe and understand the Earth for the benefit of Australia. We apply our diverse professional expertise, our deep and trusted knowledge, our national-scale Earth observation infrastructure and our strong partnerships, to the opportunities and challenges that face our nation.
The Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) team is part of the Research and Product Delivery directorate within the Digital Earth (DE) Branch, which resides in the Space Division. The Cal/Val team collects field data, manages field data and uses field data to perform validation of satellite sensor products, specifically for Landsat 8 and 9, and Sentinel 2a and b. The team has several instruments including LiDAR, multispectral and Hyperspectal visible to shortwave infrared sensors, both surface-based and UAV-based. The team uses and manages a fleet of UAV platforms utilising both DJI control software and Ardupilot control software. The team creates and manages bespoke workflows to process and analyse these data to provide validation services to the Digital Earth program to quality assure our data offerings.
Geoscience Australia are looking for a candidate to take a leadership role within the DE program in providing validation services. This role would ensure that DE is delivering new products and capabilities that support the Australian government and spatial sector.
