PhD vacancies
Applications are invited for PhD positions in the following thematic areas:
- GNSS integrity monitoring and quality control (e.g., integrity theory, ambiguity resolution, validation)
- Precise orbit determination of small LEO satellites and CubeSats and its applications
- GNSS air/space-based applications (e.g., relative navigation, attitude determination, formation-flying)
- GNSS remote sensing (e.g., meteorology, reflectometry, ionospheric sounding)
- GNSS surveying and geodesy (e.g., RTK, PPP, and CORS networks)
The general team strategy is to exploit the diversity of the multi-constellation GNSS and the unique properties of their ultra-precise, multi-frequency carrier-phase tracking data to enable high-precision, high-integrity, real-time kinematic GNSS parameter estimation, and precise orbit determination (POD) of LEO satellites (including CubeSats) and its applications.
Requirements for the PhD positions
- See https://study.curtin.edu.au/higher-degree-by-research/ for the rules for entry eligibility criteria
- Ability to work independently and to tight deadlines and timeframes
- Excellent English writing and verbal communication skills
- Excellent interpersonal and organisational skills
- A commitment to maintain a high standard of professional work
Salary and benefits:
Accepted PhD candidates receive a shift in fees (will not pay for enrollment) and a scholarship based on the Research Training Program (RTP) law, with the opportunity to earn extra by part-time tutoring.
