Chalmers University of Technology

Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg conducts research and education in technology and natural sciences at a high international level. The university has 3100 employees and 10,000 students, and offers education in engineering, science, shipping and architecture. With scientific excellence as a basis, Chalmers promotes knowledge and technical solutions for a sustainable world. Through global commitment and entrepreneurship, we foster an innovative spirit, in close collaboration with wider society. Chalmers was founded in 1829 and has the same motto today as it did then: Avancez – forward.

At the department of Space, Earth and Environment and the Onsala Space Observatory, we search for answers to the really big questions. In a long time perspective, the lifecycles of stars and galaxies provide an insight into the origin and future of the universe, earth and life. We also observe our planet and the interaction between society, technology and nature in order to develop technologies, models and tools that can meet global challenges regarding natural resources, climate impact and energy supply.

At the Onsala Space Observatory we are now looking for a highly motivated colleague to work with us as a Postdoctoral researcher on GNSS-related research in geodesy and geodynamics. Possible GNSS-related research topics can include, e.g., reference frames, crustal motion, glacial isostatic adjustment, atmospheric signal delays, ionospheric research, LEO-augmented GNSS, new space missions, etc. The Postdoc position is in the research group for Space Geodesy and Geodynamics. It is restricted to three years (2+1) with a review after the second year. Together we work to increase knowledge on how to best achieve a long-term sustainable planet. Our main working places are the Onsala Space Observatory, 40 km south of Gothenburg, and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.

Your major responsibilities as a Postdoc is to perform your own and innovative research in the field of GNSS for geodesy and geodynamics. You are expected to develop and conduct your own research in close collaboration with your colleagues in the Space Geodesy and Geodynamics research group. In addition it might be beneficial for your future career to participate in teaching and outreach activities on a level of 10 per cent.
