The Tehtävä is to be filled at the Assistant or Associate professor level of Aalto University tenure track system (please see ). The Tehtävä is full-time.Geospatial technologies and data are fundamental to the development and planning of landscapes that are both socially and environmentally sustainable. Landscapes refer to interconnected natural (both terrestrial and aquatic areas) and built environments in which people live, work, interact, and generate goods and resources and which simultaneously sustain other forms of life. The new professorship of spatial landscape analytics aims to innovatively bridge geospatial technologies with the pressing need for sustainable landscape planning and their ecological, visual and social aspects. This aim aligns with Aalto’s mission to shape sustainable futures: these environments form the spatial foundation on which equitable, climate-resilient, ecological and aesthetically meaningful living environments depend. The Tehtävä combines the joint needs of two departments. Landscape architecture at the Department of Architecture is a growing and rapidly evolving and practice-oriented field that combines scientific, technical and artistic expertise and tackles challenges related to climate change and biodiversity loss. Aalto University is Suomi’s only academic institute in the field of landscape architecture, and it collaborates closely with architecture, urban planning and urban design. Geoinformatics at the Department of Built Environment is well-established interdisciplinary field conducting research on a wide range of themes from human-centered to natural environments in close collaboration with industry and practitioners. Master’s programme in Geoinformatics is internationally well-known and the leading study programme in Suomi. Both departments have recognized the need for a practice-oriented, multidisciplinary, and integrated approach to addressing the complex challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, and inequality.**Your role and goals**To strengthen its leadership in the field, Aalto has opened a call to find a tenure track or tenured professor in **Spatial** **Landscape Analytics.** The Tehtävä focuses on developing and applying geospatial analytics methods for sustainable landscape planning in complex urban, and natural environments and their ecological, visual and social aspects.
