Geospatial Jobs #41: Dec 2, 2023

🎉 6,000+ subscribers!

Welcome to the 41st issue of Geospatial Jobs, a career newsletter focusing on data science and geosciences (🌧climatetech, 🌽agtech, 🌊risk modeling, ⚡️energy, 🛰remote sensing, ♻️sustainability, and more).

There are so many open postdoc positions (~60 of them!), and I’m not sure how many people are interested in those. So, I’ve changed the order in this issue and kept them at the end.
