It makes significant contributions to the realisation and maintenance of global reference networks, which include the International Terrestrial Reference Frame and the International Celestial Reference Frame, to the determination of Earth Orientation Parameters as well as to the International Gravity Field Service. The station´s remit covers primarily the operation of a VLBI radiotelescope, an SLR system, the ”Transportable Integrated Geodetic Observatory” (TIGO) at Concepcion/Chile, the Antarctic Station O´Higgins as well as a multitude of permanent GPS receivers installed in Europe and worldwide. Besides the further development of the space geodetic techniques new measuring methods are devised, as e.g. a local rotation sensor (Ring Laser). Further measuring systems provide local data needed in addition to the space measuring techniques, which include a superconducting gravimeter, a meteorological station, a time and frequency system consisting of a multitude of atomic clocks, which is involved in the generation of the world time scale UTC by the BIPM, as well as a seismometer. BKG is seeking a scientist as head of this Observatory with experience in the field of space geodetic techniques, realisation of reference systems and analysis of space geodetic and gravimetric observations. The position requires a Ph.D. or M.S. in Geodesy or in related Geophysical, Physical, Mathematical, or Engineering Sciences. Applications are expected by November 7, 2008. Details on the requested qualification are available at BKG´s homepage http://www.bkg.bund.de/ (see ”Stellenangebote” in the navigation bar).
