Join our Research Team: One new PhD position in GNSS and Natural Hazards

phd-photo-v2

The Cyprus University of Technology Laboratory of Geodesy is seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD student to join our dynamic research team. This position offers the unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) techniques and the monitoring and analysis of natural hazards, such as landslides and earthquakes. The successful candidate will focus on the innovative application of GNSS techniques and the development of experimental configurations to enhance our understanding and response to these catastrophic events, contributing significantly to the safety and resilience of vulnerable communities at the national and international levels.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implementation of novel hardware platforms for GNSS data acquisition and processing, tailored to the detection and analysis of natural hazards.
  • Development of advanced GNSS-related services, including real-time monitoring systems, predictive modeling, and decision-support tools.
  • Conduct comprehensive fieldwork and data analysis to validate and refine GNSS applications in the context of natural hazard assessment.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, stakeholders, and industry partners to ensure the relevance and impact of research outcomes.
  • Publication of research findings in high-impact scientific journals and presentation at international conferences.

Funding

The position will be partially funded by on-going research grants secured by the Laboratory of Geodesy and the ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence.

Required Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Geodesy, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and/or C/C++.
  • Experience with GNSS data processing and analysis is highly desirable.
  • Knowledge of natural hazard dynamics, particularly related to landslides and earthquakes, is an advantage.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and oral, in English.
  • Ability to work independently as well as part of a team in a multidisciplinary environment.
