[IGSMAIL-8008] 5 open PhD positions at Institut für Erdmessung Leibniz University Hannover

[Steffen Schön]

In course of the CRC TerraO, the Institut für Erdmessung Leibniz 
University Hannover, Germany invites applications for five positions of

Research Assistants (PhD, m/f/d) in the field of Geodesy (Salary Scale 
13 TV-L, 100 °10)

starting as soon as possible. The positions are limited to 3 years.

The successful candidates will do research in one of the following projects:

  *A05 lnterferometric Fibre Links and GNSS: characterizing dominant 
errors in GNSS frequency transfer thanks to IFL in cooperation with PTB 
The German national Metrorolgy Institute, developing new PPP concepts 
for GNSS frequency transfer, carrying out experiments for GNSS frequency 
transfer in the lab and in the field

*B01 New Measurement Concepts with Laser Interferometers: study of 
optical accelerometry and gradiometry for future gravity field missions, 
development of corresponding mission concepts

*C02 Terrestrial Clock Networks: Fundamental Physics and Applications: 
study on the use of clock networks (relativistic geodesy with clocks) 
for geodetic applications such as height systems and monitoring of mass 
variations

*C04 Gravity Field Solution by Exploiting the Full Potential of GRACE 
Follow-On: implement the extended acceleration approach including 
stochastic modelling, investigate suitable parametrization for 
deterministic modelling of instrument effects, develop better 
descriptions for spatial and temporal sampling of GRACE and GRACE-FO

*C05/C01 Modelling of Mass Variations Down to Small Scales by Quantum 
Sensor Fusion/Groundwater Gravimetry: Gravimetrie observations, data 
harmonization and combination, relative weighting and regional modelling 
in cooperation with HCU and GFZ Potsdam

Employment conditions

To qualify for the position, applicants must hold a scientific 
university degree (Master, Diploma, or equivalent) in Geodesy or any 
related field. In addition, very good knowledge in computer coding is 
expected. We require very good written and spoken English, 
organisational skills, initiative and the ability and willingness to 
familiarise oneself with new areas of work.

We offer:

The DFG Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1464 "TerraO- relativistic and 
quantum-based geodesy" is characterised by its unique 
interdisciplinarity of quantum physics and geodesy. TerraO aims to 
advance quantum-based measurement concepts for monitoring mass changes 
from space and on ground, combined with the corresponding data analysis 
and modelling, in order to provide sophisticated tools that 
significantly enhance our knowledge on the involved change processes in 
the system Earth. We offer PhD students research challenges at the 
highest level, project responsibility and a top-class international 
network. With our integrated graduate school, we offer a wide range of 
further education opportunities in our interdisciplinary research field 
and soft skills to prepare for a successful career.

  Part-time employment is possible.

  As an equal opportunities employer, Leibniz University Hannover 
intends to promote women and men. For this reason, suitably qualified 
women are specifically invited to apply.

Preference will be given to equally qualified applicants with disabilities.
