The Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (IESSG), at the
University of Nottingham, is Europe's leading academic research institute
in the field of satellite navigation, positioning and tracking technology.
The Institute now has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join
the vibrant and growing research team.
The IESSG has recently been awarded a contract by the Galileo Joint
Undertaking (GJU), as part of a collaborative project led by the Finnish
Geodetic Institute (FGI), and in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of
Surveying and Mapping (CASM), to study the improvement in performance of
GPS and Galileo when augmented with local correction data. This
challenging one-year project aims to demonstrate performance improvements
in Europe and in China, using live GPS signals and simulated Galileo
measurements. Post-doctoral researchers are invited to apply to the IESSG
to work on the simulation of the Galileo measurements and the demonstration
trials in Europe and China.
Applicants should have good programming skills and a background in
satellite navigation technology, preferably with an MSc or PhD
qualification in a relevant discipline. The successful applicant will be
expected to collaborate as part of a team, and should expect some extended
visits to China for the demonstration trials.
Salary will be in the range £20,842 to £28,850 per annum, depending on age,
qualifications and experience (salary can progress to £33,445 per annum,
subject to performance). The post will be offered on a fixed-term contract
for a period of 1 year.
