Beschreibung
For the BMBF-funded project “Saisonales Wasserressourcen-Management in Trockenregionen:
Praxistransfer regionalisierter globaler Informationen (SaWaM) ” within the research intiative
“Globale Ressource Wasser (GROW) ”, the Institute of Geodesy (GIS), University of Stuttgart,
invites applications for a
Research assistant (PhD student, 75%) in satellite geodesy
This project is a collaboration with a consortium of seven universities and research institutes, two
internationally active German business partners as well as several regional decision makers. Its
overall objective is to develop methods and tools for the transfer of regionalized global data and
models into practical water resources management, especially for semi-arid region.
Recently, spaceborne geodetic sensors (e.g. GRACE and altimetry missions) have established
themselves as valuable hydrological monitoring tools. However, the application of geodetic
sensors for practical hydrological use has its limitations. The main task of GIS within this project is
to cope with the challenges of altimetry, GRACE and GRACE-FO for practical use in semi-arid
regions.
The position is fixed for a term of 3 years. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and
Research (BMBF). The preferred starting date is 1st April 2017. Salary will be paid in accordance
with the German TVöD, salary group E13 (75%). The successful candidate will be employed at the
University of Stuttgart, Institute of Geodesy.
The University of Stuttgart aims to increase the number of female employees. Qualified women
are therefore especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants will be preferred if
applicability and qualification are equivalent. The University of Stuttgart supports the
compatibility of work and family through various means and offers nursery places.
