This position is part of the Research Unit u201cRING: Rotation in Physics, Geodesy, and Geophysicsu201d, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). RING brings together expertise from several universities, research institutions and a Federal Agency across Germany to improve measurements with laser-optical instruments to observe changes in Earth rotation. The overall goal is to use these observations for enhancing geodetic and geophysical applications, such as quantifying mass variations in the Earth system by climate variability and change. The open position is part of the RING project P6, which analyses the effects of atmospheric and hydrological dynamics on long-period rotational measurements, as a joint effort of GFZ, the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
