n  The Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS at Peking University invites domestic and foreign talents to join our faculty. Multiple open-rank faculty positions are now available in three research areas: (1) Physical Remote Sensing: fundamentals in radiative transfer models, inversion theory, and quantitative remote sensing; (2) Digital Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics: geodesy and location services, GIS, spatio-temporal big data, digital spatial analytics; (3) Applied Remote Sensing: applications of RS/GIS/GPS/GNSS in solving fundamental science questions on our earth and other planets, as well as their applications in addressing major engineering needs (areas include but not limited to global change, ecology, agriculture, water cycle, urbanization, disasters, etc.; candidates with a strong background in remote sensing of planetary sciences are encouraged to apply).

n  Positions: Tenure-Track Assistant/Associate Professor levels are desired. For exceptional cases, a more senior starting position may be considered. The first-round application ends in March 1st, 2023. Applications will continue to be accepted throughout 2023.

n  About us: Peking University is a leading university in China with diverse disciplines in all natural and social sciences. The institute offers comprehensive academic programs for undergraduate, Master’s, and Ph.D. students (see websites at https://www.irsgis.pku.edu.cn/ and https://sess.pku.edu.cn/english/research/program/269899.htm). We strive to build an internationally recognized research program in Remote Sensing Science and Technologies with inclusive academic environment. There are currently 34 faculty members with diverse research interests, including physical remote sensing (ultraviolet, optical, thermal infrared, microwave, SAR, LiDAR, etc.), GIS spatial analytics and software, geodesy and location services, spatial analysis for transportation and urban studies, and applied remote sensing for deep space, agriculture, ecology, water cycle, global change, urban studies, natural disasters, etc.
