Postdoc Algorithms for Advancing GNSS Applications

The evolution of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is ongoing, both in terms of system design as well as data processing algorithms, which are both contributing to an ever increasing field of applications in geodesy, autonomous navigation (land, water, air, space), geohazard monitoring, and remote sensing of the atmosphere, sea surface and soil moisture.

This research is carried out by a team, currently consisting of several PhD-students and senior staff-members of the Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft University of Technology.

The team is to be completed by a PostDoc-researcher. In this position you will focus on developing algorithms to exploit signals from existing and future GNSS constellations as well as signals of opportunity from communication systems. This will further advance the use of GNSS in environments and/or applications with stringent user requirements and/or adverse signal reception conditions. Candidates are required to have a strong background in mathematical statistics, signal processing and GNSS.

Candidates are expected to have a PhD-degree in a relevant discipline (such as mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, or satellite navigation), good command of English, as well as excellent analytical and programming skills, and a proven ability to find elegant and creative solutions to challenging problems. The successful candidate will initially be appointed for one year.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (Salary indication: € 2.790,00 - € 4.402,00). The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context. At TU Delft we embrace diversity and aim to be as inclusive as possible (see our Code of Conduct ). Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale.

Challenge. Change. Impact! 

The Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences (CEG) is committed to outstanding international research and education in the field of civil engineering, applied earth sciences, traffic and transport, water technology, and delta technology. Our research feeds into our educational programmes and covers societal challenges such as climate change, energy transition, resource depletion, urbanisation and the availability of clean water, conducted  in close cooperation with a wide range of research institutions. CEG is convinced that Open Science helps to achieve our goals and supports its scientists in integrating Open Science in their research practice. The Faculty of CEG comprises 28 research groups in the following seven departments: Materials Mechanics Management & Design, Engineering Structures, Geoscience and Engineering, Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Transport & Planning, Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management.
