Descrizione del lavoro

Geotek Limited is seeking a Spectral Scientist to develop hyperspectral imaging and infrared spectroscopy applications for geological materials. You will lead spectral-method development and collaborate with Software, R&D, Consultancy, Services and New Product Development teams, applying statistical and machine-learning approaches where appropriate.

You will contribute to project planning, support clients with spectral insights, and present technical findings to both specialist and

Competenze

• A degree in geology, Earth sciences, remote sensing, physics, optics/photonics, chemistry, materials science, engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant practical experience.
• Experience with imaging spectroscopy, reflectance measurements, spectral libraries, spectral feature extraction and spectral unmixing.
• Experience with chemometrics, machine learning, experimental spectroscopy or transferring analytical methods into software or customer-facing applications.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience analysing measured hyperspectral or optical/infrared spectroscopic data and relating spectra to material properties, composition or other validated physical information.
• Sound understanding of spectroscopy and how calibration, noise, acquisition conditions and sample or scene variability affect results.
• Ability to build reproducible spectral-analysis workflows using scientific software and/or programming tools, such as Python, MATLAB, R, IDL, ENVI or equivalent. No particular package is mandatory.
• Experience applying quantitative and statistical methods, evaluating performance and limitations, and independently solving scientific problems to agreed objectives and deadlines.
• Clear written and spoken English, effective multidisciplinary teamwork and the ability to explain technical findings to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

Mansioni

• Lead the development and validation of spectral interpretation methods for geological materials using hyperspectral imaging and infrared spectroscopy.
• Develop robust workflows for calibration, pre-processing, spectral feature analysis and quality assurance, assessing measurement variability, uncertainty and limitations.
• Research and apply statistical, chemometric and machine-learning approaches where appropriate, with suitable validation against reference data.
• Provide scientific direction for hyperspectral analysis and visualisation software, working with software and data-science colleagues to implement reproducible, usable workflows.
• Collaborate on experiments and instrument evaluation, relating acquisition conditions and sensor performance to the quality of spectral interpretations.
• Support internal projects and clients with tailored spectral insights, clear technical reports, presentations and workshops.
• Contribute to project planning and engage with the international research community through technical collaborations and conferences.
