Task description:

Post-doc position in the OPUS-24 LAP research project entitled: “A new approach for inferring spatially continuous multi-technique vertical land motion (VLM) models for coastal areas and sea level research”. The project is being carried out in LAP collaboration with scientists from Germany (funded by DFG). The PI on the German side is Prof. Jürgen Kusche, University of Bonn.

The Applicant's role within the project will include, in particular: collecting GNSS displacement time series, collecting published InSAR (and other) rate estimates, developing spatial imaging, simulation experiments, performing spatial imaging for simulated, GNSS and ALT-TG displacement time series, identifying regions of large (anthropogenic) subsidence, test InSAR in a region where we trust GNSS, use InSAR to replace GNSS and/or ALT-TG, integrate published InSAR VLM rates into VLM model, creating integrated GNSS + SAR + ALT-TG VLM model, interpolate the integrated VLM model on a coastal grid, overall analysis, verification of research methods, dissemination of results (paper, theses), elaborating final conclusions.

Required documents:

• a request for employment addressed to the Rector of the Military University of Technology;
• Personal questionnaire;
• Curriculum Vitae (CV) with full information on past scientific achievements and distinctions resulting from research, information on publications, conference presentations and participation in research projects;
