[IGSMAIL-6971] PhD Position at IfE Hannover

[Steffen Schön]

Dear colleagues,

The Collaborative Research Centre “Relativistic geodesy and gravimetry 
with quantum sensors (geo-Q)” invites applications for a *PhD position 
*for the project B03 *“Kinematic GNSS positioning of low Earth 
orbiters” t*o be appointed 01.11.2014. The position is limited to 3 
years, with the perspective on extension. The work place will be at the 
Institut für Erdmessung, Leibniz Universität Hannover 
(www.ife.uni-hannover.de)


Responsibilities and duties include research on improved GNSS algorithms 
for kinematic LEO satellite positioning both from simulations and real 
data analyses. Special emphasis is placed on benefits from ultra stable 
GPS receiver clocks and new satellite formation schemes allowing 
collaborative positioning of the formation, like e.g., via laser links. 
A second focus is on improving the understanding of GPS signal 
propagation in the vicinity of the LEO satellite antenna including 
multipath, diffraction and antenna phase patterns.

Candidates should have completed their master’s degree in geodesy, 
navigation, aero-space engineering or closely related disciplines with 
above-average success. Programming skills in MATLAB and Simulink are 
required as well as advanced knowledge in GPS positioning or signal 
propagation.

Please circulate this information within your institute.


Kind regards
