Research Engineer in Fiber Optic Data Analysis in Greenland (M/F)

Job Description

Missions

The successful candidate will apply previously established processing workflows to the entire dataset acquired in Greenland in order to extract relevant information regarding hydrological flows, ice deformation, and the propagation of associated waves. These observations will then be interpreted in terms of underlying processes, such as deformation caused by crack propagation, water flow velocities that generate vibrations, or creep-induced deformation of the ice.

Activity

Activity 1: Analysis of the entire dataset
 Activity 2: Interpretation of observations in terms of processes
 Activity 3: Contribution to the writing of scientific articles

Your Work Environment

The Institute of Environmental Geosciences (IGE) is a public research laboratory affiliated with the CNRS, the IRD, the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA), and Grenoble-INP. Its research focuses on climate change and the impact of human activities on our planet in polar, mountainous, and intertropical regions—areas that are particularly sensitive to major societal challenges. The laboratory has an average staff of approximately 330 people, including 190 permanent employees (researchers, faculty researchers, engineers, technicians, and administrative staff) and approximately 140 doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and contract employees. Each year, the IGE also hosts approximately 120 interns and visiting scientists. The IGE is spread across four buildings on the Grenoble university campus (the Glaciology Building, OSUG-B, the House of Climate and the Planet, and INRAE-Grenoble in Saint-Martin-d'Hères).

The IGE is one of the main laboratories of the Grenoble Observatory of Universe Sciences (OSUG), a federative structure of the National Institute of Universe Sciences (INSU). The IGE actively contributes to the national research strategy in the polar regions, in collaboration with national and international partners. It participates in numerous national and international projects.

This recruitment is part of the ERC REASSESS project led by Florent Gimbert, which aims to study the dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet in response to hydrology resulting from surface melting. In this project, unique data acquired using fiber-optic technology were collected at the surface and within boreholes, with the goal of documenting hydrological, deformation, and basal friction processes that are otherwise difficult to access. Analyzing this data requires the implementation of optimized processing workflows to extract relevant information and analyze it in terms of the underlying processes.
