Postdoc in Space geodesy and geodynamics

Together we work to increase knowledge on how to best achieve a long-term sustainable planet using the tools of space geodesy. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc researcher who wants to do space geodesy and geoscience research. Research interests in the fields of geodetic and astrometric VLBI, reference frames, earth rotation and orientation, global geodynamics, GNSS, gravimetry, sea level, tidal phenomena, atmospheric water vapor and turbulence, are very welcome.

Information about the research and the division
This postdoc positions aims at performing space geodesy and geoscience research that is based on and makes for example use of the geoscientific measurements performed with the observational techniques at the Onsala Space Observatory. The position is in the research group for Space Geodesy and Geodynamics that is part of the Division of Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Our main working places are at Onsala, 40 km south of Gothenburg, and at Chalmers campus in Gothenburg.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility will be to develop and conduct your own research at the frontier of space geodesy and geosciences. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing, primarily in English, at conferences and in journal publications.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree in Geodesy, Engineering Physics, Geophysics, Physics, or equivalent. The degree should be awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
