[IGSMAIL-6919] 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) got funding for a project on

      *GNSS SATELLITE ORBIT MODELLING*.

In the frame of the project funding for a

      *PhD CANDIDATE* and a *RESEARCH ASSISTANT*

is available. The project is intended to improve the understanding
of orbit modelling for all Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
in the frame of the multi-GNSS experiment (MGEX) of the International
GNSS Service (IGS). Based on the MGEX solution from CODE (Center for
Orbit Determination in Europe, hosted at AIUB) new strategies for
attitude modelling and orbit parameterizations, e.g. for solar
radiation pressure modelling, shall be implemented and tested. The
orbits for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS shall be
investigated, modelled, and parameterized in a fully consistent way.
The project shall help to understand how potential deficiencies in
the orbit modelling map into GNSS-derived parameters relevant for
geodesy and geodynamics.
