[IGSMAIL-7429] 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) is offering a position for a

                *PhD CANDIDATE*
                      on
        *GNSS SATELLITE ORBIT MODELLING*.

The thesis shall improve the understanding of orbit modelling for
all Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in the frame of the
multi-GNSS extension (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 orbit parametrizations,
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 parametrized 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.
