Offre de poste - Ingénieur Télédétection couleur de l'eau
Ce poste s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet TRISHNA-CLEC financé par TOSCA/CNES, qui vise à préparer la prochaine mission satellitaire TRISHNA dédiée à la surveillance de la couleur des océans.
Développé dans le cadre d'un partenariat franco-indien, la mission TRISHNA fournira des images haute résolution et haute fréquence de la surface terrestre dans les domaines solaire et infrarouge thermique. Le lancement du satellite est prévu pour 2026.
L'ingénieur de recherche contribuera à l'adaptation et au développement d'algorithmes et de modèles existants (notamment la correction atmosphérique, le masque d'eau WiPE, la correction des reflets solaires et les modèles de récupération des matières en suspension) afin de les adapter à la résolution et aux capacités spécifiques de TRISHNA pour la télédétection de la couleur de l'eau.
Pour postuler à ce poste, veuillez envoyer un CV détaillé, une lettre de motivation et une lettre de recommandation à :
- Cédric Jamet : cedric.jamet(at)univ-littoral.fr
- Charles Verpoorter : charles.verepoorter(at)univ-littoral.fr
