Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Postdoctoral Researcher for Data Analysis - **Company:** Universiteit Utrecht - **Location:** Utrecht, Netherlands - **Salary:** €1,785.0 - €1,855.0 - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Data Analysis, Unstructured Data, Data Assimilation, Information Technology, GNSS - **Published:** June 12, 2026 - **Apply:** https://nl.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f5a6711de0f059dd ## About the Role Do you have a Master's degree?, The successful candidate combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and domain-specific knowledge for Bayesian regression of large InSAR datasets. A background in physical sciences is expected, e.g., geodesy or seismology. We are not looking for ML/AI experts. For those interested in applying their data science and analytics skills to unique datasets for a societally relevant problem while also extending their academic credentials we offer a postdoc role in our interdisciplinary team. The postdoc role is designed to provide rich opportunities for collaboration and to produce results that can be shared through high-impact research publications. Candidates with 0-4 years of experience post-PhD are particularly well-suited for the position. You should have a PhD degree in a relevant discipline at the time of the start of the contract. You should be able to work independently on complex computational problems while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary research team. Proficiency in spoken and written English for academic purposes is a necessity. The possible starting date may be taken into account in the selection procedure. We strongly encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and career paths who are enthusiastic about working at the interface of computation, experimentation, and Earth sciences. If you are passionate about this research but uncertain whether your background fits perfectly, we encourage you to apply. ## Description The Department of Earth Sciences is looking for an enthusiastic and communicative postdoctoral scientist with a strong background in data science who leverages scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and understanding from structured and unstructured data. You will work on the NWO-funded (Dutch Research Council) project 'Developing a data-constrained forecasting model of surface deformation in the Groningen gas field region'., Our collaborative research project also involves 2 PhD's who have already started. One PhD develops physical compaction models and estimates mechanical properties from downhole time series. The other PhD explores methods to derive deformation time series from InSAR observations. The postdoc will have a bridging role between these PhD projects by sampling the parameters and states of the physical models using data assimilation of InSAR, GNSS, and geodetic levelling time series., In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University also offers a range of its own schemes for employees. This includes arrangements for professional development, various types of leave, and options for sports and cultural activities. You can also tailor your employment conditions through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage you to keep investing in your personal and professional development.
