[IGSMAIL-6873] Open position at AIUB

[Rolf Dach]

Author:  Rolf Dach


Dear Colleagues,

The Satellite geodesy research group of the Astronomical Institute of
the University of Bern (AIUB) offers the position of a

     *RESEARCH ASSISTANT*

The focus of the research activities will be in the field of

     *GNSS DATA ANALYSIS*.

The AIUB hosts the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE),
one of the leading analysis centers of the International GNSS
Service (IGS). An important part of the position will be devoted to
the continuous improvement of the processing system, which is required
to guarantee the operational activities with high reliability. The
permanent development and improvement of the Bernese GNSS Software
package, to also guarantee the high quality standards of the
CODE-products according to the latest scientific standards in
the future, will be another core task of this position.

Based on these rather technical tasks, also various opportunities
for scientific research result in order to continuously improve of
the CODE products. A key element is the improvement of the orbit
modelling for GNSS satellites (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) as
well as for low Earth orbiting satellites.

Depending on the interest and the experience of the candidate also
other research topics may be defined, covering the wide range from
the field of global GNSS analysis (improvement of relevant parameters
like station coordinates, Earth rotation parameters, etc.), to the
integration of new GNSS signals, up to the development and employment
of new processing strategies.

The position may also allow PhD studies in the field of orbit modelling
for GNSS satellites. In that case the focus of the work will be rather
on scientific tasks than on technical tasks.
