A 17-month postdoctoral fellowship investigates heat-vulnerability indicators in Jundiaí, Brazil, to inform urban cooling and climate-adaptation decisions. The research combines data analysis, geoprocessing, fieldwork and collaboration with municipal staff. The researcher must be able to reside in Campinas and travel to Jundiaí. Applications close on 8 October 2026; the official selection notice specifies the cover letter, reference and CV requirements.

The University of Tasmania is recruiting a Senior Research Fellow or Principal Research Fellow for the Australian Forest and Wood Innovations Centre for Sustainable Resource and Product Solutions. Over four years, the role will turn multi-sensor LiDAR, imaging analytics and geospatial research into practical improvements in forest inventory, monitoring and decision-making. Applicants may come from academia, industry, consulting, government or applied research. Lead projects and teams, build industry partnerships, mentor colleagues and secure research or commercial support. Appointment is at Academic Level C or D, with a base salary of AUD 138,536–180,018 plus 17% superannuation; relocation support may be available. Apply with a current résumé and a cover letter of up to two pages addressing the relevant position description. Applications close at 11:55 pm Tasmania daylight time on 18 October 2026.

Srinivasan Keshav (University of Cambridge) presents an interface designed to help ecologists use AI for remote sensing despite unfamiliarity with embeddings and algorithms. The Tessera Embeddings Explorer lets practitioners privately explore a region of interest, create habitat maps and perform regressions using their domain expertise and ground-truth knowledge. The talk demonstrates the tool and explains the design principles and the software architecture that follows from them, connecting usable ecological workflows with AI representations. Keshav is the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science at Cambridge.
