<p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:14.0px Times;color:#232020">Continuously-operating, high-precision GPS networks are part of modern infrastructure, contributing large streams of data to surveyors, transportation/communication users, and earth scientists. Although the purpose of these networks is to provide precise positions, these data are also sensitive to hydrologic variables, including soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation water content. The University of Colorado in Boulder is leading an effort to develop water cycle products from these data. We seek a postdoc for 1-2 years to work with our interdisciplinary team of geodesists and environmental scientists. The candidate should have a PhD in geodesy, electrical engineering or an earth science discipline focused on active remote sensing. Candidates should have a working knowledge of computer programming (unix, Matlab, C or Fortran).</p>
