Description of position

Function: Research Assistant for the research unit "Integrated Geodesy and Navigation"
Title / appellation: Research Assistant
Duration: Temporal position according to the duration of some of the Unit projects. Towards the end of the projects, opportunities of continuation shall be evaluated mutually
Salary range: According to the selected candidate's experience and capacities
Reporting: To the Head of the Unit.

Functions and activities:

- In charge / supervised charge of research projects, according to the candidate's profile.
- Scientific, technical and academic activities of the Unit.
- Scientific support to other researchers' activities and project acquisition.

Research terms of reference

Research and experimental prototyping in the realm of modelling, calibration and orientation of photogrammetric and remote sensing sensors. The work is to be carried out within the framework of the research projects that the Unit has underway. The geometric and radiometric properties of earth observation sensors will be analyzed. Furthermore, tools for the calculation / optimization of parametric models will be developed.

More specifically:

- Radiometric modelling of geomatic (photogrammetric and remote sensing) sensors.
- Integrated radiometric and geometric modelling for sensor orientation and calibration (frame cameras, LiDAR, ...).
- Development of estimation SW for radiometric and geometric models for large data sets.
- Sensor orientation and calibration using time-position-attitude observational data.

Candidate profile

Academic background and degree:
- Graduated/Engineer in Mathematics, Physics, Geodesy, Geomatics, Remote Sensing, Electrical Engineering, Aeronautics or related disciplines.
- Scientific programming
- Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming (C++ or similar)
- Proven experience within the specified research terms of reference and experience in R&D tasks are requirements of the position.

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 one year.

Información complementaria de la oferta:
The Institute of Geomatics

The Institute of Geomatics is a non-profit public consortium of the autonomous Government of Catalonia (GC) and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). It was created by law of the GC in 1997 and its mission is to promote and develop geomatics, through applied research and education, for the general benefit of society.

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 rigor. We practice the knowledge triangle of research, innovation and education. We measure our performance. We trust and respect people.

Integrated Geodesy and Navigation Unit (GIN)

The GIN unit does research in the integration of any available sensor for local geodetic applications both in their geometric and physical aspects. The GIN staff constitutes a multidisciplinary team with strong backgrounds in cartography, geodesy, geography, mathematics, electronic engineering and computer science. Over the past ten years, the GIN unit has developed theoretical, software development, hardware integration and educational capabilities, through the realization of applied research projects and continuous education programmes. The GIN unit 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.
More specifically, the GIN unit does research on static and kinematic point and gravity field determination. This includes, for instance, precise positioning and navigation with INS/GPS or INS/Galileo, LiDAR and imaging sensor orientation and calibration, and kinematic INS/GPS gravimetry among other topics.
