Jobbeskrivelse

The position is allocated in the Geodesy research group, which covers a broad range of geodetic topics like satellite geodetic and earth observation(EO) data assimilation, precise GNSS positioning, surveying technology, surface deformation(e.g., uplift, subsidence, post glacier rebound) monitoring and modelling, as well as data processing of satellite altimetry, satellite aperture radar(SAR), and Interferometry SAR(In SAR) missions. The research is currently focused on integrating various satellite data into Earth system models to study the Earth’s water redistribution and surface deformation globally and regionally. We would like to extend the group’s research in areas such as SAR and In SAR and laser scanning, as well as enhancing precise point positioning techniques through research on multi-GNSS based and reference frames. Experiences in software development for geospatial applications are highly valued, this includes, but is not restricted to, proficiency in programming languages(Python, C++, Java, MATLAB) and database management(SQL, Postgre SQL, Post GIS).
The teaching activities as Assistant Professor will include lecturing of surveying engineering topics, practical exercises(e.g., teaching the use of total station, levelling instruments, surveying GNSS, laser scanner and drones in mapping projects), BSc and MSc project supervision, coordination, and planning of courses and semesters at bachelor and master level primarily within surveying. All teaching activities are done in the format of PBL. Our bachelor programme is in Danish and or master programme is in English. Proficiency in Danish is therefore an advantage. Further, familiarity with conducting practical geomatics projects and knowledge of geodata and surveying regulations will be highly appreciated for supervising BSc and MSc projects and guiding students in practical applications.
