Developing country nationals residing in their home country (or another country) must hold their internships in the appropriate Regional Office.

Number of Awards: Approximately fourteen. Some travel and research expenses will also be supported, up to a maximum of $10,000.

Internship Application Eligibility: Candidates must be citizens of developing countries.

Candidates need not be affiliated with an institution. They may participate in internships as part of an academic requirement.

Deadline: 12 September each year.

Study Subject(s):Climate Research
Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: University of Hawaii
Scholarship can be taken at: USA

Eligibility:
Ph.D. with a background in using remotely sensed data for vegetation ecological, ecosystem, or climate studies. Excellent oral/written communication skills. Experience in conducting field work involving remote sensing. Experience in programming (e.g. C, Fortran, Matlab, etc.). Experience in working with a Unix/Linux environment.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, College of Tropical Agriculture & Human Resources, University of Hawaii at Manoa, seeks a recent Ph.D. interested in generating climate research-quality satellite data records of global vegetation indices. Develop and evaluate a methodology of relating/coupling satellite data with in situ tower-based measurements of flux and reflectance to validate vegetatation index products from multiple sensors (VIIRS, MODIS, AND AVHRR), including the performance and effectiveness of algorithmic improvements and multi-sensor continuity/compatability, and to establish their biophysical uncertainties. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build research capacities in ecological remote sensing, scaling, and phenology studies. Major challenges will be to efficiently handle a wide vareity of datasets and to develop sound relationships with the external data providers required for the project.

How to Apply: Post

Scholarship Application Deadline: Continuous – application review begins November 16, 2011
