Dear Sir/Madam,

Good day,

I would like to announce the following Post-doc/Adjunct position in the
IGSMAIL:

Job offer in the research project NCN SONATA 13 “Combining GRACE-type
mission and GNSS CORS network data for the determination of temporal mass
variations in the Earth system on local/regional scale”

ORGANISATION/COMPANY: Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, Centre of
Geodesy and Geodynamics, Warsaw, Poland.

Position: Post-doc/Adjunct

Requirements:
1. PhD degree in geodesy or related fields, obtained less than 7 years
before employment for SONATA 13 project, subject to maternity extension
according to NCN regulations,
2. Strong knowledge of the GNSS data processing using a scientific
software (e.g. the Bernese GNSS Software, GAMIT-GLOBK, GIPSY-OASIS II),
3. Basic knowledge of gravity dedicated satellite missions, e.g. Gravity
Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission,
4. Basic knowledge of the determination and modelling of gravity/mass
functionals and their temporal variations,
5. Good experience in a high-level programming language (e.g. a Matlab
software),
6. Ability and willingness to develop new research tasks related to the
subject of the project,
7. Good command of spoken and written English language.

Tasks description:
The main aim of this project is to comprehensively analyse and develop a
methodology for combining GRACE-type mission data and national GNSS CORS
(Continuously Operating Reference Stations) data for the determination of
temporal mass variations within the Earth system on a regional/local
scale. The area of Poland is selected as the research area. GRACE-based
GGMs, GRACE-based Mascons and GNSS data from the national GNSS CORS
network in Poland, i.e. the Active Geodetic Network of the European
Position Determination System (ASG-EUPOS), are considered as the main
input data for the project. The description of this project for
the-general public can be obtained from the Polish National Science Centre
(NCN) web page (cf.
https://www.ncn.gov.pl/…/2017-06…/streszczenia/383888-en.pdf).

The scope of tasks for this position:
1. Collect, analyse and process daily GNSS data from the ASG-EUPOS CORS
network,
2. Contribute with the principal investigator of the project to develop a
method for combining GRACE-type mission data and national GNSS CORS data
for the determination of temporal mass variations within the Earth system
on a regional/local scale,
3. Contribute on other complementary tasks of the project,
4. Participate in two publications from the JCR list.
Further information can be obtained by contacting the principal
investigator of the project Dr. Eng. Walyeldeen Godah, (e-mail:
walyeldeen.godah at igik.edu.pl).

Type of the NCN competition: SONATA 13

Application deadline: 20/06/2018

Starting date: 21/05/2018

Working hours: Full time (40h/week).

Location: Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw, Poland

Conditions of employment: A full-time employment contract for the duration
of the NCN SONATA 13 project, post-doc/adjunct position, pay 5000 PLN /
gross month. The position is offered for 2 years, including an initial 6
months probation period.

Admission:
The application should contain the following documents/information:
1. CV including scientific achievements, list of publications and contact
information of three references,
2. Letter of intent (maximum 1 page),
3. Copy of PhD diploma (or equivalent),
4. Candidate's statement that she/he is not financed from other projects
of the National Science Centre,
5. Statement that the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography will be the
basic place of employment.

Please include the following statement in your application: "In accordance
with the personal data protection act from 29th August 1997, I hereby
agree to process and to store my personal data by the Institution for
recruitment purposes".

Application documents (in pdf format) in English should be sent to Dr.
Eng. Walyeldeen Godah (e-mail walyeldeen.godah at igik.edu.pl)
