• Develop a high-resolution, remote sensing–based agricultural inventory for Southeast Asia, capturing both spatial and temporal variability.

• Establish an observational data archive that integrates major types of weather and climate extremes affecting agricultural yields.

• Analyze model output, perform statistical analysis and provide interpretation and recommendations.

• Collaborate with cross-functional government agencies and research teams to collect and analyze atmospheric and climatological data.

• Provide scientific input and support to other ongoing projects.

• Publish scientific papers and present at relevant conferences.

Job Requirement

• Ph.D. in Remote Sensing, Agricultural Science, Computer Science, Atmospheric Science or a related field.

• Proven experience in high-resolution model development, implementation and application.

• Strong experience with physical-based and machine learning methods in atmospheric science.

• Proficiency in Linux-based high-performance computing systems, GPU-based programming and prevailing AI tools.

• Experience in urban climate studies, specifically the urban boundary layer, heat island effects, air pollution, and building energy consumption.

• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, R, IDL or MATLAB.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
