I am always interested in recruiting students in the fields of geodesy, geomatics, remote sensing, earth and ocean sciences, mathematics, and computer science who are interested in pursuing graduate degrees in Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences at UH.
Prospective students are encouraged to fill in this Online Form at any time of the year. I will contact you if further information is needed.
Ph.D. Research Assistant opportunities are available in the Geosensing Systems Engineering & Sciences (GSES) program at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Houston.
The successful applicants will work with Dr. Surui Xie to investigate Earth’s topography and deformation over time in critical zones.
The group emphasizes the use of geodetic techniques to study crustal deformation, coastal subsidence and sea level change, as well as changes in the cryosphere.
The Ph.D. assistantship provides support that will cover tuition, stipend, health insurance, etc.
Students with degrees in Geodesy, Geomatics, Remote Sensing, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Mathematics, or Computer Science are particularly encouraged to apply.
Prospective students are encouraged to fill in this Online Form (please do not send me inquiring emails about possible student opportunities, I will contact you if further information is needed, thank you).
Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
Applications may also be submitted directly following the instructions at https://www.cive.uh.edu/admissions/civil-engineering/application-forms (please mention my name in your statement of purpose if you would like to work with me).
The deadline for admission into the graduate program of Geosensing Systems for the Fall semester is March 15th; and the deadline for the Spring semester is October 15th.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Houston invites applications for a postdoctoral position to advance geodetic, geophysical, or remote sensing data analysis using machine learning.
The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr. Surui Xie in the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping to detect and investigate transient events (e.g., slow slip) in GNSS time series and/or other types of geodetic/geophysical/remote sensing datasets.
The postdoctoral position is for two years and can be extended for an additional year upon satisfactory review.
The position will offer a highly competitive salary, benefits, and support for travel and professional development.
The start date is flexible, preferably between January 1st and September 1st, 2023. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. degree by the start date and demonstrated experience in machine learning.
Experience in geodetic data analysis is desired but not required.
With the goal of establishing an independent research program and a successful career path, the postdoc is encouraged to participate in professional development and proposal writing (as PI or Co-PI).
To apply, please send the application material to Surui Xie (sxie9@central.uh.edu), which should include:
1) A CV including publication and presentation lists
2) A research statement with a description of research experience and plan
3) The names and contact information of at least three references
Applications will be reviewed immediately and the search will continue until the position is filled.
