PhD scholarship in Terrestrial Gravimetry with Quantum Technology - DTU Space

Job description

If you are interested in quantum technology and geodetic infrastructure, looking to engage in field deployment both nationally and in the arctic, then a PhD position at DTU Space might be the place to kick-start your research career. The division of Geodesy and Earth Observation (GEO) at DTU Space is looking for a PhD student to engage in our long-term activities on terrestrial gravimetry. The division owns an A10 absolute gravimeter and has annual tasks to measure and maintain the geodetic networks in Denmark and Greenland in collaboration with the Agency for Climate Data. The PhD will be part of these core activities and receive training in operating the A10 instrument. Responsibilities and qualifications: The PhD will be involved in the EU-Horizon project EQUIP-G aiming to foster a European wide community on quantum gravimetry, including organized measurement workshops and international events. One of the responsibilities of DTU Space is to demonstrate that quantum gravimetry can be used to monitor climate changes, including two field campaigns to Ilulissat in Greenland in collaboration with international partners. The position requires involvement in our annual work programme w...
