Scientific Researcher (f_m_x) – GNSS Remote Sensing
Website GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences
Our Section ‘Space Geodetic Techniques’ has around 50 researchers and engineers with interdisciplinary background, who work together on innovative Earth Observation methods exploiting signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). We are an open, international and interdisciplinary team, that is passionate about advancing GNSS based Earth Observation and space geodetic research. If you are enthusiastic about innovation, successful team work and pushing the boundaries of Earth observation, we look forward to welcome you in our team!
The successful candidate should have an excellent track record in research on the application of GNSS signals for atmosphere/ionosphere and Earth surface remote sensing with focus on using ground-based observations from standard geodetic receivers. We expect the successful candidate to contribute actively to the further development and application of GNSS remote sensing techniques at an internationally leading level. This will also involve contributions to attract research grants to extend the scientific spectrum of our research group at GFZ.
Your responsibilities:
- Development, implementation and testing of complex analysis software for GNSS remote sensing (atmosphere and earth surface), with focus on ground-based GNSS observations
- Contributing to the operational provision of GNSS-based atmospheric data to weather forecasting centres and the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)
- Using innovative techniques (data assimilation, machine learning, etc.) for the GNSS data analysis and applying GNSS data products in weather and climate research
- Extending and maintaining scientific cooperation with academic partners on the national and international level
- Contributing to the writing of scientific proposals to attract external research funding
- Publication of the research results in scientific journals and at conferences
- Contributing to the supervision of Master´s and PhD students
