Dear Australian Geodesy colleagues,
Please see invitation below from the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) Subcommittee on Geodesy to join their ‘Capacity and Education Working Group’.
This has immense opportunity to expand both capacity in geodesy education, but also to share, and provide access to, resources and contacts from around the world.
Thanks and Regards,
Anna

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.
