Job description

The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for geosphere research.As a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres we are part of the largest scientific organization in Germany. With approximately 1,500 employees our key mission is to secure a profound understanding of the systems and processes of solid Earth, to develop strategies and options for action in addressing global change and its impacts on a regional level, to understand natural hazards and to minimize associated risks, to ensure the sustainable provision of energy and raw materials for a high-tech society and to evaluate the influence of human activity on system Earth.

For Section 1.1 “Space Geodetic Techniques” we invite applications for a:

Research Scientist – LEO POD (f_m_x)

Reference Number 9096

To support our expertise in orbit determination of Low Earth Orbiters we are looking for a motivated research scientist. The position combines implementation tasks regarding advanced orbit modeling and investigations focusing on combined ground and space-based GNSS observations.

Your responsibilities:

• Implementation of LEO POD capabilities in the GNSS processing software EPOS.P8
• Assessment of advanced LEO orbit modeling and investigations on the achievable orbit accuracy
• Combined processing of GNSS ground networks and different LEOs and assessment of the impact on geodetic parameters (e.g., geocenter, terrestrial scale) and offset determination (especially transmitter phase centers)

Your qualifications:

• Scientific university education and doctorate in geodesy or related disciplines (e.g., mathematics, physics, informatics)
• Experience in GNSS data processing
• Experience in developing scientific program packages, knowledge in Unix/Linux-based operating system environments and script programming are an advantage
• Very good command of written and spoken English
• High motivation and personal responsibility
