Postdoc or Senior Assistant position in high-precision GNSS in Zürich

ETH Zurich is one of the world's leading universities specializing in science and technology. It is renowned for its excellent education, its cutting-edge fundamental research and its efforts to put new knowledge and innovations directly into practice. You will be part of the Chair of Mathematical and Physical Geodesy, which is active in researching the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and their integration with other observation techniques and models in a trans-disciplinary context. The professorship Mathematical and Physical Geodesy (Prof. Markus Rothacher) in the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, ETH Zurich, solicits applications for a position to be filled by either a postdoc or a research assistant. The research field will be space geodesy, with a focus on high-precision GNSS applications in close cooperation with other scientists and PhD students in the group.

The position will concentrate on aspects of the comparison and combination of space geodetic techniques (GNSS, VLBI and SLR) and the use of various co-location links (position, troposphere, clocks, orbits) between the different observation techniques on ground and in space. This also includes a major involvement in cube satellite constellation with low-cost GNSS receivers to be launched in 2020 and in the design and realization of a small, low-cost multi-technique payload consisting of a multi-GNSS dual-frequency receiver, a VLBI transmitter and SLR retroreflectors to be flown onboard one or more cube satellites.
