You will serve as a Remote Sensing Analyst in the Image Science and Applications Branch of NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY.

Duties

You will conduct remote sensing processing and analysis supporting research and development initiatives within the NRL Image Science and Applications Branch. You will collaborate with other Remote Sensing Division researchers and analysts to develop concepts to enhance and augment data analysis procedures and identify new approaches or applications for exploiting remotely sensed data. You will serve as liaison to military and intelligence organizations to identify issues that could potentially benefit from advanced processing techniques. You will provide guidance to users on how to obtain maximum benefit from advances in remote sensing processing, algorithms and tools. You will provide remote sensing and geospatial subject matter expertise in response to technical requests for information from DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) analysts. You will coordinate field trial data requirements, manage data transfer requirements, and perform research support for SEALAB applied research projects. You will assist in evaluating SEALAB development efforts for relevance to DoD information needs and identify appropriate approaches for transitioning new techniques to support real world operational requirements. You will provide classroom and/or hands-on technical training on new remote sensing processing and analysis techniques to DoD and IC analysts. You will coordinates with operational customers to identify requirements and facilitate interactive discussions to identify approaches for addressing capability gaps and incorporating feedback to improve the relevance of Branch activities. You will establish a dialogue with potential customers to ensure they are aware of on-going and proposed NRL remote sensing initiatives that address their information needs and support their missions.
