<div dir="ltr"><div>The U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, seeks a postdoctoral researcher in gravimetry or kinematic aircraft positioning to work with the GRAV-D project staff (<a href="http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GRAV-D/">http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GRAV-D/</a>). <br></div><div><br>The opening will be filled through the prestigious Research Associateship Program, run by the U.S. National Research Council. Postdoctoral research will fall under the broad topic of "Measuring and Monitoring Earth’s Gravity Field with Terrestrial, Airborne, and Satellite Methods" and be applicable to NGS' ongoing projects. </div><div><br></div><div>Successful candidates will have experience related to either (1) precise aircraft positioning (especially combining GNSS and IMU data) or (2) terrestrial, airborne, and/or satellite gravity data acquisition and technical analysis, with emphasis on applications related to geodesy. Proficiency with Matlab is desired. When they apply, applicants must be less than 5 years from the date they finished their Ph.D. Applicants may be from any country and relocation expenses are paid. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">The application package includes a research proposal.
