Two open research positions at LSCE in Paris and at INRAE in Bordeaux

The One Forest Vision Initiative is a new research programme between African countries and France launched in 2023 with a duration of five years, aiming to monitor changes of central african rainforests for height, biomass and diversity, in order to better understand the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic pressure on these diverse and important ecosystems, and provide science-based knowledge to protect and restore forests in the region. 

As part of the initiative, two research positions are open at LSCE in Paris and INRAE in Bordeaux:

• Produce and interpret high-resolution maps of forest attributes in Central African rainforests using satellite imagery, LiDAR, ground inventories and AI

• Produce and interpret high-resolution maps of cover types after deforestation in Africa

Both positions are for 24 months, with an extension possible.

The positions are available from April 1st 2024 and will remain open until filled. The expected start of the positions is June-July 2024.
