Postdoc in Antarctic satellite geodesy (altimetry/gravimetry)
by Matt King 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

Dear colleagues [apologies if you receive this several times] Postdoctoral Fellow in Antarctic Satellite Geodesy I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher with significant expertise in satellite geodesy for land ice sheet change (altimetry and/or gravimetry), for a 4-year postdoctoral research position at the University of Tasmania, Australia. This postdoctoral research position will use satellite geodetic datasets to contribute new knowledge of change in the mass and elevation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The position is part of a new prestigious ARC Laureate Fellowship team of about 15 researchers who are being assembled by Prof Matt King to work together on tracking and predicting the future of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The successful candidate will bring their expertise in satellite altimetry and/or gravimetry to this problem to help improve understanding of the change and variability of the ice sheet, including through combination of these two measurement types. These will be used to help others develop a new model of Antarctic glacial isostatic adjustment. The appointed postdoc will contribute to building a collegial and collaborative team research environment. Team researchers are well supported by travel and professional development funds. This is an opportunity to be part of a new and exciting team whilst working at the world's leading Antarctic and Southern Ocean university. Location: The city of Hobart in Australia's island state of Tasmania provides an outstanding quality of life, on the edge of the Southern Ocean and within easy reach of Tasmania's many National Parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/tasmanian-wilderness-world-herit…<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/isI9CGvmG7fJnMjPKHKf9CB7bzO?domain=p…>.
