(DLR) und leitet zudem seit 2022 die Forschungsgruppe Signaturen. 2014 wurde er für seine Forschung zu polarimetrischen Dekompositionsstechniken mit dem DLR-Wissenschaftspreis ausgezeichnet. Von 2014 bis 2019 & 2022 bis 2023 war er ein jährlicher Gastwissenschaftler am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA, und trug zur Vorbereitung und Fortsetzung der SMAP- und SMAP / Sentinel-1-Missionen bei. Zusammen mit Prof. Dr. Entekhabi (MIT) wurde er mit dem MIT-MISTI-Stipendium für die globale Überwachung des Wasserkreislaufs und der Umwelt mit aktiven und passiven satellitengestützten Mikrowelleninstrumenten ausgezeichnet. Darüber hinaus ist Dr. Jagdhuber Dozent an der Universität Jena und der Universität Augsburg sowie Gutachter für mehrere internationale Zeitschriften und Konferenzausschüsse. Seit November 2020 ist er Habilitand bei Prof. Dr. Harald Kunstmann, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Buermann und Prof. Ralf Ludwig (LMU München) am Institut für Geographie der Fakultät für angewandte Informatik und beschäftigt sich mit der Beobachtung des Boden-Pflanze-Atmosphäre Systems, dessen Status & Reaktion auf Klimawandel und andere anthropogene Einflüsse.
