[Geoinfo] PhD Opportunity - Project SAFER funded by Inter-American Institute for Climate Change (IAI)

[Gerardo M. E. Perillo]

Remote sensing of Argentinean-Chilean lakes along 
physical and bio-climatic gradients

Project SAFER is seeking a qualified doctoral 
student focusing on the geomorphologic, 
hydrodynamic and biogeochemical classification 
and potential changes of major lakes in Chile and 
Argentina (30° a 46° S). The project will employ 
a combination of tools, potentially including 
airborne (hyper-spectral) and/or satellite based 
remote sensing (MODIS etc.), calibrated against a 
network of in situ lake sensors, field sampling 
and existing field data. The student will work 
directly with Chilean, Argentine and U.S. based 
collaborators, interact with a cohort of graduate 
student within a multidisciplinary framework, and 
participate in the Global Lake Ecological Observatory (GLEON) network.

Pre-requisites: The position is offered to 
residents of Latin American countries, with a 
preference toward Chile and Argentina. Must be 
proficient in English (TOEFL or equivalent), 
enrolled in a doctoral program (or potential to 
enroll starting with the spring 2013 semester), 
with an emphasis on limnology, oceanography, 
remote sensing or equivalent interdisciplinary 
focus. Must be willing to travel extensively, 
become a GLEON member, and participate in the 
annual meeting in Bahia Blanca Argentina in November 2013.

There is funding for 1 to 4 years, depending on 
student performance, with additional funds for 
project related expenses and participation in 
meetings. Candidates will be strongly supported 
in securing additional funding for continued 
studies with collaborators in U.S. based 
institutions (e.g., becas CONICYT or CONICET).

The selected student must place his/her residence 
either in Bahía Blanca (Argentina) or Valdivia 
(Chile) for the total length of his/her tenure. 
There is NO EXCEPTION to this point.
