We are currently searching for one or more postdoctoral researchers for an opportunity for innovative research using GNSS and other signals for environmental sensing for the purpose of extreme weather forecasting. As a member of the team you will develop and implement new techniques for Global Navigation Satellite System remote sensing of the atmosphere and Earth surface using lightweight instruments on range of platforms from aircraft and UAVs to balloons and satellites. You will contribute to the systems design, software implementation and data collection methods for specialized remote sensing missions. The research team develops airborne systems that use propagation delays of low elevation GNSS satellites to remotely sense the atmosphere in high impact storms over the ocean and hurricanes.
Requires a PhD in one of the following: physics, optics, GNSS systems, geodesy, estimation theory, signal processing or other fields relevant to remote sensing. Candidates with specialized expertise in hardware and/or software development will be considered.
To apply: Send a copy of your CV, cover letter, and contact information for three references in a single pdf file with “GNSS Postdoc” in the subject line to Jackson Kontzer jkontzer@ucsd.edu
