Are you searching for a Postdoc position at an internationally important geodetic fundamental station and work for the benefit of the scientific community as well as your own research and society at large? we are now looking for a highly motivated colleague to work with us as a Postdoctoral researcher on GNSS-related research in geodesy and geodynamics.

Project description
Possible GNSS-related research topics can include, e.g., reference frames, crustal motion, glacial isostatic adjustment, atmospheric signal delays, ionospheric research, LEO-augmented GNSS, new space missions, etc. The Postdoc position is in the research group for Space Geodesy and Geodynamics. It is restricted to three years (2+1) with a review after the second year. Together we work to increase knowledge on how to best achieve a long-term sustainable planet. Our main working places are the , 40 km south of Gothenburg, and in Gothenburg.

Information about the department
we search for answers to the really big questions. In a long time perspective, the lifecycles of stars and galaxies provide an insight into the origin and future of the universe, earth and life. We also observe our planet and the interaction between society, technology and nature in order to develop technologies, models and tools that can meet global challenges regarding natural resources, climate impact and energy supply.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as a Postdoc is to perform your own and innovative research in the field of GNSS for geodesy and geodynamics. You are expected to develop and conduct your own research in close collaboration with your colleagues in the research group. In addition it might be beneficial for your future career to participate in teaching and outreach activities on a level of 10 per cent.

Qualifications

- Relevant PhD degree in Geodesy/Geophysics/Geodynamics/Aerospace/Physics or an equivalent education, including a GNSS-related PhD thesis and experience.

- Fluency in both written and spoken English.
