Job offers of the Thünen Institute
The Institute of Farm Economics of the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute, Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries, in Braunschweig is offering a full-time position (currently 39 hours per week) for a
Scientist (f/m/d) in Remote Sensing / Spatial data analysis
The position is limited to a fixed term of five (5) years and is to be filled as soon as possible. The term of employment is regulated by § 2 (1) S. 2 Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz.
The Thünen Institute, together with Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) and the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food, currently undertakes a joint research project that develops concepts and solutions for the Monitoring of biological diversity in agricultural landscapes. Within this field, one task of Thünen Institute is the generation of a long-term database about the state and development of biological diversity in agricultural landscape in Germany. Remote sensing plays a key role for the spatially explicit trend-monitoring at national scale. Remote sensing data deliver information about the composition and heterogeneity of agricultural fields in the spatial (landscape) and temporal domain (crop rotation and other indicators of crop practices). A current need, here, is on the detection of extensive management systems (e.g. extensive grazing / pastures, mixed orchards) and other parts of the agricultural land that are not regularly assessed within the Land Parcel Information System (LPIS) of the EU as part of the common agricultural policy (CAP). On the other hand, also the management of intensive cropland can be supported by field-based indicators of productivity from remote sensing. In both cases, the Copernicus-program of ESA provides a long-term data strategy to serve these demands.
The overall aim of the position is the development of remote sensing based indicators of management intensity in cropland and grassland from high spatial and temporal resolution time series. These indicators are planned to support the monitoring of biological diversity at national scale in Germany. Besides the processing of multi-sensoral satellite data time series, your main tasks include the participation in the formulation of concepts for the nationwide implementation of the developed indicators.
