The Institute of Geomatics (IG) invites applications for a
PhD-Fellows
(candidates for predoctoral grant proposals)
for all Institute of Geomatics research units
Reference: PhD-FS-grants_2011-09-29
1 Call objectives
Preselection of candidates with potential to win competitive predoctoral research grants in upcoming calls of the Spanish R+D programmes. In case of successful preselection by the Institute, a proposal to the most adequate grant programmes shall be elaborated in collaboration between the candidate and the Institute. The creation of a PhD-Fellowship position will depend on the outcome of the joint grant proposal initiatives. Therefore, candidates with promising scientific curriculum at the beginning of their academic career, willing to actively go through the different stages of grant proposals and to incorporate themselves into one of the IG's Research Units are encouraged to present their candidature.

Duration: 1 year position, renewable up to 4 years (subject to yearly progress appraisal) for PhD studies according the general rules of the corresponding grant programme and of the IG-PhD-Fellowship Programme (http://www.ideg.es/page.php?id=555)
Salary range: According to the selected candidate's experience and capacities.
Reporting: To the Head of the Unit.
Functions and activities:
• Tasks of research and development.
• Participation in measurement experimental campaigns.
• Involvement on the research projects of the Unit.
3 The Institute of Geomatics (IG) – www.ideg.es
The Institute of Geomatics is a non-profit public consortium of the autonomous Government of Catalonia (GC) and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). Its mission is to promote and develop geomatics, through applied research and education, for the general benefit of society.
The IG is located in the Mediterranean Park of Technology in Castelldefels (Spain), about 30 minutes from Barcelona city centre. The Park provides excellent conditions for conducting focussed research and additional facilities like for example Campus Residency for workers and students.
The Institute of Geomatics is organized along modern academic management principles. It integrates a friendly and motivating research atmosphere together with scientific, technical and administrative rigour. We practice the knowledge triangle of research, innovation and education. We trust and respect people.
The IG staff constitutes a multidisciplinary team with strong backgrounds in cartography, geodesy, geography, mathematics, electronic engineering, civil engineering and computer science. The IG has a record of cooperation with other academic groups, with private companies and with public administration at the international level, with partners in Europe and the Americas.
4 IG's Research Units
Integrated Geodesy and Navigation Unit (GIN)
The GIN unit conducts research in order to make kinematically acquired data ready for interpretation. For this purpose, the unit has specialized in precise navigation and trajectory determination with multi-sensor systems and in the orientation and calibration of navigation and remote sensing sensors. In the past recent years, the unit has used these techniques for airborne, terrestrial and UAV-based geodata acquisition and mapping applications.
More specifically, the GIN unit investigates static and kinematic precise positioning with INS/GPS/Galileo, the combined orientation and calibration of photographic and LiDAR sensors, kinematic INS/GPS/Galileo gravity determination, UAV safe navigation for geomatics and personal navigation with low cost devices. The GIN unit develops software and hardware prototypes for scientific and technology transfer purposes.
Active Remote Sensing Unit (TA)
The TA unit conducts research and development activities in the analysis and exploitation of data coming from spaceborne, airborne and terrestrial active remote sensing sensors for a wide range of applications. As its name indicates, the activities of the TA unit are related to active sensor types, as for example Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Laser Scanners. Nevertheless, TA has experience with passive sensors that produce for instance optical images.
From the applications point of view TA is highly specialized in the measurement and monitoring of deformations. In addition the unit's curriculum includes works in other applications like Digital Terrain Model generation among others. These are the fundamental research areas of the TA unit:
• Algorithms and analysis methods: interferometric SAR (InSAR), differential interferometric SAR (DInSAR) and terrestrial SAR,
• Measurement of deformations with DInSAR, with emphasis on topics related to the evaluation of the quality of measurements and the validation of DInSAR techniques,
• Terrestrial active remote sensing techniques: laser scanner and terrestrial SAR.
• Analysis of Airborne laser scanner (LiDAR) data.
3D Geo-Visualization and Modelling Unit (3D-GVM)
The 3D-GVM unit conducts research to improve the communication of spatial information through advanced modelling, visualization and interaction techniques, focusing on the use of mixed-reality to make geo-information accessible to a wide range of users and applications.
The central goal of the unit is to investigate the potential of 3D visualization and interaction to improve communication, analysis and interaction with geospatial and spatio-temporal data. To this end the group conducts research in the visualization and interactive analysis of complex geospatial datasets and develops and evaluates technologies for advanced user interface like mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) and adaptive user interfaces for location aware mobile applications. Applying a user centred design perspective these technologies are validate in a wide range of geospatial applications.
5 Research terms of reference
The position offers the opportunity to start a scientific career conducting research for obtaining a PhD title and getting insight and experience in applied research projects, all within the dynamic and challenging research domains outlined in the above unit descriptions, in an international, multidisciplinary but specialized and focussed context.
The candidate is expected to have a clear vocation for research and first significant contacts to the fields of expertise related to one of the units' domains.
6 Candidate profile
• Academic background and degree:
- Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or any other equivalent background or professional experience that qualifies the candidate for the specific functions and domains described above.
- Strong motivation for research activities.
- High level of proactive, initiative working, responsibility, teamwork.
- Previous academic or work experience in geomatics, a general solid background in technology and/or research, contacts to key actors in the geomatics R+D environment are an asset.
• Language skills:
The candidate is expected to communicate fluently and flawlessly in English. Knowledge of Spanish and Catalan is an asset. The candidate is expected to reach a sufficient "operational" communication level in Catalan and Spanish within two years.
