[IGSMAIL-6964] Open position at AIUB

[Rolf Dach]

Author:  Rolf Dach

Dear Colleagues,

The Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern (AIUB) is currently 
in the final negotiating stage with the European Commission to launch 
the project

*European Gravity Service for Improved Emergency Management (EGSIEM)*

in response to the Earth Observation Call EO-1-2014 of the Horizon 2020 
European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. In the 
frame of the EGSIEM project funding will be available for a

        *PhD CANDIDATE*   and a   *RESEARCH ASSISTANT*

EGSIEM is a collaborative effort between eight European institutions 
that will be coordinated at AIUB with support of this position. The 
three key objectives of the EGSIEM project are: 1) to establish a 
scientific combination service to deliver the best gravity products for 
applications in Earth and environmental science research based on the 
unified knowledge of the entire European GRACE community, 2) to 
establish a near real-time and regional service to reduce the latency 
and increase the temporal resolution of the mass redistribution 
products, and 3) to establish a hydrological and early warning service 
to develop gravity-based indicators for extreme hydrological events and 
to demonstrate their value for flood and drought forecasting and 
monitoring services.
