Dear Colleagues,
The Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) Geodesy Working Group (GWG) is seeking expressions of interest for a new Academic Representative to join the Working Group.
About the Role
The Geodesy Working Group (GWG) is a permanent subcommittee of the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM). The GWG comprises leading experts, advisers, and advocates in geodesy, positioning, and survey measurement from Australian and New Zealand governments (including state, territory, and Commonwealth agencies) as well as universities.
The Academic Representative provides expert advice, research insight, and strategic guidance to support the GWG’s coordination of geodetic activities across Australia and New Zealand. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to regional (AU/NZ) geodetic initiatives and strengthen collaboration between academia and government geodesy programs.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must:
* Be a current member of an Australian or New Zealand academic institution (e.g., university or research organisation), and
* Have a minimum forward tenure of two years at their institution from the date of appointment.
Desirable Attributes
* Expertise in geodesy, surveying, GNSS, height systems, geodetic infrastructure, or related fields
* Experience contributing to national or international geodetic initiatives
* Ability to collaborate with government, academic, and industry stakeholders
* Strong communication skills, including presenting technical information to diverse audiences
Role Expectations
The Academic Representative is expected to:
* Participate in quarterly virtual GWG meetings (and if possible an annual in‑person meeting)
* Provide academic perspectives on GWG projects and priorities
* Contribute to technical document development, reviews, and discussions
* Advocate for and support ICSM and GWG activities and priorities
* Support collaboration between academic research and operational geodesy activities
How to Apply
Interested applicants are invited to submit:
1. A short statement (1–2 paragraphs) outlining their suitability for the role
2. A brief curriculum vitae (maximum 2 pages)
3. Confirmation of institutional affiliation and forward tenure
Submission
Please email your expression of interest to the GWG co-Chair at Anna.Riddell(a)ga.gov.au<mailto:Anna.Riddell@ga.gov.au> by COB 20 February.
If you require more information about the GWG’s activities or priorities, please contact the co-Chairs, Anna Riddell and Lisa Hall (cc’d).

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.

The symposium is organized by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Commission 3 and will bring together scientists working on Earth rotation, geodynamics, crustal deformation, and related fields, fostering collaboration across the many disciplines that study the Earth’s dynamic behaviour with geodetic methods and datasets.
Please save the date: September 28 - October 1, 2026
The symposium will be limited to 150 participants and abstract submission and registration will begin early 2026. Reminders will be sent via mailing lists when abstract submission and registration open. More information about the workshop can be found at https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/xHg7CROAWrhrY5QPgHqtLC1ZyFe?domain=g…. The website will be updated with additional information closer to the symposium, so be sure to check back for updates.
We’re looking forward to seeing you in September 2026!
Sincerely,
Rebekka Steffen (on behalf of the scientific and local organizing committees)
