[IGSMAIL-7010] Geoscience Australia 2-year Job Opportunity : GNSS POD Specialist (2-years at GA, Canberra ACT) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Stavros.Melachroinos at ga.gov.au]

Dear Colleagues,
Please see below for recent job opportunities for Geoscience Australia.

GNSS Precise Orbit Determination (POD) Specialist
http://www.seek.com.au/job/27802903?pos=3&type=standout

This position is a project based two year appointment within the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI). The CRCSI is a collaborative joint venture and works with industry, government and the education and science sectors in Australia and New Zealand to produce business outcomes and benefits for participants involved in the spatial sector. The CRCSI is undertaking a project to deliver a national geodetic GNSS analysis capability. Ultimately the capability will include the following services:

-          Full, single and multi-frequency, multi-GNSS data processing

-          Delivering multi-GNSS orbits and clock products

-          Delivering atmospheric products such as ionosphere and troposphere models

-          Delivering un-calibrated signal biases (USDs)

-          Providing both real-time and batch-processing capability

-          Delivering products to the IGS community
The role will be based in Canberra ACT, Australia in Geoscience Australia (GA), Geodesy section within the small project team and report to the project's Technical Leader (TL).

Responsibilities include:

-          Software development, maintenance, testing, debugging, prototyping based on technical requirements, standards and design provided by the TL

-          Implement dynamic POD models for the generation of real-time, rapid and weekly final multi-GNSS orbits and clocks

-          Implement un-differenced or single and double differenced algorithms of multi-GNSS (GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BEIDOU, QZSS, IRNSS), un-combined or combined multi-frequency data.

-          Implement multi-GNSS, multi-frequency data editing and cleaning algorithms (cycle slips, clock jumps etc.) both in real-time and post-processing

-          Implement, verify and control the GNSS signal in space specifications and GNSS system performance standards

-          Implement, verify and control the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS 2010) conventions, and the IGS Repro 2 campaign standards

-          Teamwork, Coordination and Technology transfer providing technical expertise and advice within the project in the area of GNSS and satellite positioning techniques

-          Perform research work and publish in International peer-reviewed journals as requested

Minimum requirements :

-          A PhD degree or equivalent in geospatial/geodesy/physics/astronomy/surveying with some research experience in Space Geodesy.

-          A sound knowledge of least squares adjustment methods and linear algebra

-          A sound knowledge of orbital mechanics and satellite dynamics

-          Proven experience in a research team and geodetic projects

-          Good knowledge of scientific computing and an ability to program in at least one FORTRAN, C, C++, MATLAB, KSH, PERL and/or CSH


This position is open to Australian and non-Australian  candidates.
Applications close January 31 2015.
