[IGSMAIL-7163] DGFI: Postdoc position in the research area Reference Systems

[Florian Seitz]

Dear colleagues,

the Deutsches Geodätisches Forschungsinstitut (DGFI, German Geodetic 
Research Institute) of the Technische Universität München is accepting 
applications for a

Postdoc position (3 years) in the research area Reference Systems.

The realization of reference systems and the combination of space 
geodetic observations has been a primary research area of DGFI since 
many years. The institute is an official Combination Center for the 
International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) within the 
International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS). 
Besides the official ITRS computations our activities focus on the 
development of refined combination methods, which shall be applied to 
compute improved realizations of geodetic reference systems. A key 
research topic of the institute is the common realization of the 
celestial and terrestrial reference system together with the Earth 
orientation parameters (EOP) to improve the consistency of the products 
(see IUGG Resolution No. 3, 2011).

In order to strengthen our team we are looking for a scientist on 
postdoc level for the research area Reference Systems. The general task 
is the combination of the space geodetic observation techniques (VLBI, 
SLR, GNSS, DORIS) for the realization of global reference systems. A 
specific focus shall be on a consistent realization of the celestial and 
terrestrial reference system including EOP, as well as the analysis of 
the results and the comparison with official IERS products. The position 
can be filled as soon as possible.

More details on the offered position, required qualifications and 
conditions can be found here:

We are looking forward to receiving applications per mail or email no 
later than November 8, 2015.

Best regards,
Florian Seitz
