Postdoctoral Research Associate: GeoAI and Remote Sensing for Invasive Species Ecology

Job Description:

The Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) Lab at the University of Florida, led by Dr. Di Yang, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a new, multi-institutional research project focused on the invasive grass Ventenata dubia (VEDU). This project is a collaboration with leading experts at the University of Montana (Spatial Analysis Lab) and Boise State University.

The successful candidate will lead the development and implementation of cutting-edge remote sensing and machine learning techniques to address critical questions about invasive species surveillance and invasion dynamics. Key research themes include: 1) characterizing invasion resistance, 2) assessing the role of phenotypic plasticity in its competitive success, and 3) developing robust methods for spectral phenotyping using ground, drone, and satellite-based sensors. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection o...
