Foundation University

Foundation University is a private, non-profit university in the Philippines founded in 1949 by Dr. Vicente G. Sinco, an educator and former President of the University of the Philippines. Originally established as Foundation College in the post-war period, the institution was granted university status in 1969 and has since developed into one of the leading higher education institutions in Negros Oriental.��
The university is located in Dumaguete City, often referred to as the ‘University Town’ of the Philippines, in the province of Negros Oriental. Foundation University operates across several campuses within the city, including its Main Campus on Dr. Miciano Road, the North Campus, and the Northwest Campus. In addition, it maintains agricultural and research facilities in nearby areas of Negros Oriental, providing students with opportunities for practical and experiential learning.
There are nine academic college within the university: College of Agriculture, College of Nursing, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business Administration, College of Computer Studies, College of Criminology, College of Education, College of Hospitality Management, and the College of Law and Jurisprudence. Each college is divided into different departments, which offer a range of undergraduate degree programmes.
There is also the Department of Architecture and Fine Arts, School of Industrial Engineering and Technology, Foundation Preparatory Academy, and the Graduate School for those students looking to further develop their studies.��

Maynooth University

Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)

We invite applications for a doctoral researcher position within the VODBIO project, Vegetation Optical Depth as Biophysical Proxy: Retrieval, Validation, and Applications. The project develops a physically based framework for interpreting satellite microwave vegetation optical depth (VOD) as an indicator of vegetation water content, biomass, and forest structure. In this position, the doctoral researcher will generate realistic three-dimensional representations of trees and forest stands that support microwave electromagnetic modelling and physically based VOD interpretation.

The doctoral researcher will work at the interface of terrestrial laser scanning, quantitative structure modelling, forest ecology, and Earth observation. The position is particularly suited to a candidate interested in using advanced 3D remote sensing methods to link tree and forest structure with vegetation water and biomass signals observed by satellites.

The starting date is negotiable but preferably no later than November 1, 2026. The position is fully funded for three years (36 months).

Main responsibilities

The doctoral researcher will develop and apply workflows for converting terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds into quantitative structure models (QSMs) of individual trees and forest stands. These models will describe tree architecture, biomass distribution, woody and foliage components, and water-content-related properties needed for microwave VOD modelling. The work will include processing existing TLS datasets and collecting new field data from contrasting ecosystems, including tropical dryland vegetation in Kenya and moist tropical forest in the Amazon region.

Key tasks include:


	process 3D laser scanning data from forests;
	create realistic digital models of trees and forest stands;
	describe tree structure, foliage, biomass, and water content in the models;
	combine field measurements, laser scanning data, and satellite information;
	take part in fieldwork, data analysis, scientific writing, and project meetings;
	work together with project partners in Finland and internationally.


The doctoral researcher is expected to prepare a PhD thesis consisting of three peer-reviewed scientific articles. The thesis will focus on generating 3D tree and forest representations for microwave remote sensing, including QSM development, synthetic forest modelling, foliage and water content representation, and the use of these products for physically based VOD interpretation.

Research environment and supervision

The position will be based at the Department of Geosciences and Geography at University of Helsinki and supervised by University Researcher Janne Heiskanen and Professor Eduardo Maeda. The doctoral researcher will be part of an interdisciplinary consortium involving the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Aalto University, and international collaborators with expertise in microwave remote sensing, electromagnetic modelling, terrestrial laser scanning, forest ecology, and ecosystem modelling. The researcher will work closely with project partners responsible for 3D electromagnetic simulations, VOD retrieval algorithms, and ecological interpretation of vegetation water and biomass dynamics, with opportunities for fieldwork, research visits, conference participation, and co-authored publications.

Candidate profile

We are looking for a motivated candidate with a strong interest in remote sensing, forest structure, ecological modelling, or geospatial data science. Suitable backgrounds include geography, forest sciences, ecology, environmental sciences, geoinformatics, physics, computer science, or a related field. Strong programming skills, for example in Python or R, are required. Experience with point cloud processing, terrestrial or airborne laser scanning, quantitative structure models, GIS, or forest inventory is considered an advantage. The candidate should have good analytical skills, capacity for independent scientific work, and willingness to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries.

The position provides an excellent opportunity to develop expertise in 3D vegetation modelling, field-based remote sensing, and physically based interpretation of satellite observations. The doctoral researcher will contribute to methods that improve our ability to monitor vegetation water status, biomass, and ecosystem responses to drought and climate change.

The employment contract will include a probationary period of six months. The appointee should either already have the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki by the start of the appointment or apply for the right and obtain it within the probationary period. If the candidate does not already have the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki, it must be��applied for separately. The requirements for pursuing a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki can be found��here.

What we offer


	A world class academic community��that promotes diversity, international engagement and equality. We encourage all qualified applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply for our positions
	A starting salary of approximately 2700-2900 euros/month
	Occupational health care and other social benefits
	Support for internationally recruited employees with their transition to work and live in Finland
	A chance to live in��Helsinki and Finland��renowned for their high quality of life, services, and work-life balance.


Application instructions

Applications are submitted through the University of Helsinki recruitment system. Applications should include (1) a freeform CV highlighting earlier relevant experience, and (2) a motivation letter (max. 2 pages) explaining why the candidate wants to pursue doctoral studies.

The deadline for submitting the application is��August 31, 2026��at 23:59 EEST (UTC + 3).

About the Project.��This project focuses on research in Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Causal Machine Learning, applied to the intelligent monitoring and early warning of key water ecological environment indices, including prediction and management tasks. A network of reservoirs forms the backbone of the region’s water resource infrastructure, playing an essential role in ensuring urban water supply, mitigating flood risks, and supporting agricultural irrigation. However, the intricate interactions between natural hydrological cycles — such as precipitation and evaporation — and human operational controls, including release scheduling and storage regulation, introduce substantial complexity. This dynamic interplay makes the multi-reservoir system both ideal and challenging for developing advanced spatiotemporal forecasting models. By integrating causal inference with interpretable AI techniques, the project aims not only to improve prediction accuracy but also to uncover underlying cause-effect relationships, thereby enabling transparent, reliable early warnings for sustainable water resources development.

Candidates are expected to submit a research proposal that builds on this project summary.
