浙江省农业科学研究院，招聘学科带头人，待遇优惠，欢迎积极申请！
The Institute of Digital Agriculture invites applications for the three key academic
leadership positions and five more researchers in the areas of “3S” technology and applications
in agriculture. The successful candidates will join and lead core interdisciplinary research
groups in the areas of digital agriculture. The Institute of Digital Agriculture at Zhejiang
Academy of Agricultural Sciences was created two years ago to meet the demands for “3S”
technology applications in agriculture. Currently the Institute has 22 scientists in six integrated
research groups: “Agricultural GIS and Resource Management”, “Remote Sensing Applications
in Agriculture”, “Crop modeling”, “Agriculture Intelligence and Sensors”, “Internet Services”,
and “Bioinformatics and biostatistics”. The three key positions comprise in the following areas:
1. Remote sensing applications in agriculture. Develop a research program on remote
sensing applications in agriculture and lead the group to use remote sensing and GIS for
data collection and analyses together with the information collected using traditional field
experiments. In addition, broaden research topics and explore potential opportunities in
utilizing the technology for agriculture.
2. Crop modeling. Develop an active crop simulation and modeling research program and
lead to develop rice crop 3D model. Be familiar with previous commercially available
crop modeling software a plus. Expect to expand the research to include other crop
models.
3. Bioinformatics. Develop and lead a research program on bioinformatics and collaborate
with scientists from other institutions within the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural
Sciences. Perform higher level analysis and data mining and integrations of the existing
data generated from other research groups to extract useful information for applications.
The successful candidates will be expected to address the above research areas and contribute to
the development of the interdisciplinary research in “3S” technology applications in agriculture
for the Institute. A successful candidate must have a PhD, an established national or
international reputations for research in one of the areas above, as well as excellent oral and
written communication skills and evidence of productive research publications. Proof of
successful research collaborations with national and international stakeholders and researchers is
desirable.
Successful candidates will be appointed as the leader in the chosen discipline and will be
expected to lead the group in research development. The Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural
Sciences has favorable hiring policies on salary and benefits for these successful candidates.
Details are upon inquiry.
