The Deutsches Geodaetisches Forschungsinstitut (DGFI, German Geodetic
Research Institute) of the Technische Universitaet Muenchen is accepting
applications for a

Postdoc position (3 years) in the research area Reference Systems.

The realization of reference systems and the combination of space
geodetic observations has been a primary research area of DGFI since
many years. The institute is an official Combination Center for the
International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) within the
International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS).
Besides the official ITRS computations our activities focus on the
development of refined combination methods, which shall be applied to
compute improved realizations of geodetic reference systems. A key
research topic of the institute is the common realization of the
celestial and terrestrial reference system together with the Earth
orientation parameters (EOP) to improve the consistency of the products
(see IUGG Resolution No. 3, 2011).

In order to strengthen our team we are looking for a scientist on
postdoc level for the research area Reference Systems. The general task
is the combination of the space geodetic observation techniques (VLBI,
SLR, GNSS, DORIS) for the realization of global reference systems. A
specific focus shall be on a consistent realization of the celestial and
terrestrial reference system including EOP, as well as the analysis of
the results and the comparison with official IERS products. The position
can be filled as soon as possible.

conditions can be found here:

We are looking forward to receiving applications per mail or email no
later than November 8, 2015.
