PhD Scholarship in GNSS at Curtin University

Posted on by
Reply

The coming years will show a proliferation of Global and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS/RNSS). This promise of a broader multi-frequency, multi-constellation “system of systems” has the potential to enable a wide range of demanding applications for high-accuracy Australian GNSS/RNSS users.
PhD Scholarship in GNSS at Curtin University  To improve Australia’s capability in utilising the next generation GNSSs and to come to a fullest exploitation of the opportunities created, Curtin University of Technology will establish a new GNSS research group. The group’s research programme aims at developing theory, models and methods that will enable future GNSSs to fulfil the highaccuracy
and high-integrity requirements of tomorrow’s geospatial information needs in the Earth-, atmospheric- and space-sciences.
This GNSS programme is also timely because of the forthcoming GNSS CORS
network across Australia as part of the AuScope Geospatial programme. This will provide an excellent large-area ‘field laboratory’ in which to first test, then implement, the results generated by this programme. The GNSS group will use state-of-the-art equipment and software, and involve close collaborative links with other universities, industry and government, both in Australia and overseas.
Applications
Applications are invited for 4 PhD positions in the following thematic areas:

  1. GNSS surveying and geodesy (e.g., RTK, PPP and CORS networks),
  2. GNSS remote sensing (e.g., meteorology, reflectometry, ionospheric sounding)
  3. Air/space-based GNSS applications (e.g., relative navigation, attitude determination, formation-flying)
  4. GNSS software receiver (e.g., design/implementation, CDMA DSP)
  5. GNSS quality control (e.g., integrity theory, ambiguity resolution, validation)
