(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Post-Doctoral Associate
The Planetary Surfaces and Spacecraft Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park is hiring multiple postdoctoral researchers. We are looking for experimentalists with experience working with vacuum systems, plasma physics, and/or granular materials and an interest in developing technology to remove lunar regolith from spacesuits and solar panels. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the functionality of a specialized lunar “lint roller” that uses synthetic gecko skin to remove dust, rather than a traditional adhesive. Additionally, we will be developing a cleaning appliance to make the gecko roller reusable. One investigator will build and operationalize a new UHV chamber system and test the gecko roller at lunar-relevant pressures. Other investigators will design, build and test the efficacy of the cleaning appliance. The postdoctoral investigators will work with Dr. Christine Hartzell and other team members (postdocs, grad students, and undergrad students) to mature this technology, and present research results (via conferences and journal publications) to the wider planetary science and exploration community.
The appointment will be in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, full-time, for at least one year, renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance. Remuneration will be competitive and based on qualifications.

(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Post-Doctoral Associate
The postdoctoral researcher will have a key role in an ongoing project to model ridership across the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) railway system (i.e., D.C., Maryland, & Virginia) using survey data, smart card trip data, and an array of factors related to travel, transit ridership, land use, the built environment, urban form, and transport infrastructure. A key task will be to develop an enhance ridership model using new data sources and through the application of geospatial analytical techniques and machine learning. A primary task of the post-doctoral researcher will be to lead model development and enhancement efforts within the UMD NCSG–CGIS team. The goal of this project is to construct models capable of capturing how ridership trends have evolved over time as the transit system has expanded. At the same time, new built environment and ridership-related variables have become available as well as new machine learning-based approaches for modeling space-time trends. As a result, the postdoctoral researcher will assist with: (1) collect and manage a database of diverse variables; (2) create new variables based on the transportation network, points-of-interest, and neighborhood characteristics; (3) construct ridership models using regression techniques, geospatial analytical techniques, and machine learning techniques; (4) employ these ridership models to understand the factors responsible for generating ridership across different types of stations and forecasting future scenarios; and (5) draft progress reports & scholarly manuscripts for publication. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the project team and partner organizations on model integration, scenario development and analysis, and testing. The project will provide a unique opportunity to work in a truly multi-disciplinary and multi-organizational team composed of transportation and urban planning researchers, geospatial information scientists, local planners, and technologists.
The initial duration of this appointment is for a one year term with the potential for extension based on performance and availability of funding. This position is eligible to work remotely.

Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Associate/Assistant Research Professor
The GEDI mission focuses on biomass estimation, biodiversity, habitat characterization, forest complexity, and prognostic ecosystem models, and is slated to resume operations in late 2024 for a minimum of three years. An important aspect of our current initiatives focuses on the integration of GEDI data with other Earth Observation (EO) data such as from passive optical/stereo and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technologies. The latter includes data from TanDEM-X, ALOS-2 and Sentinel-1 as well as the forthcoming NISAR and BIOMASS missions. Successful candidates will participate in diverse aspects of GEDI-related science analyses and projects. This participation includes refining and validating science algorithms, post-flight calibration and validation, developing field observation databases, science data product development and the fusion of multi-sensor data. There is also the opportunity to utilize these remote sensing data in science investigations within the candidate’s areas of interest.
Our NASA CMS projects are focused on combining GEDI and interferometric SAR (InSAR) data to map high-resolution biomass and its changes, in collaboration with partner institutions including the German Aerospace Center (DLR), alongside activities utilizing these data to drive ecosystem and diversity models. Our mature and old-growth forest work is in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and Harvard Forest. This research is developing methodologies for the assessment and monitoring of mature and old-growth forests using a comprehensive range of EO data, modeling, and in situ national forest inventory data. These projects have significant engagement with stakeholders at the local, national, and international levels.
