Hi All,
We are pleased to announce a PhD opening in the GNSS Lab at Curtin University, Perth, Australia. This position comes with a full scholarship and focuses on enhancing positioning availability and resilience through the integration of GNSS with 5G technologies.
We’re seeking an outstanding candidate with strong expertise in GNSS or 5G — ideally both. The applicant should have a Master's degree that includes a research component of at least 25%.
The successful applicant will receive:
* A tax-free stipend of AUD $37,500 per annum
* A full tuition fee offset (waiver)
* Medical insurance coverage for one person
The scholarship is awarded for three years, with the possibility of a six-month extension.
Applicants from non-native English-speaking countries must meet Curtin’s English language requirements — for example, a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.

Dear All,
Please find attached the final workshop programs for the Ginan software workshop (23 June) and the Geodesy workshop (24-25 June).
Both workshops will be held in the D.A. Brown lecture room (Building 142 at RSES, Mills Rd, Acton), which is the same place that we have held all previous workshops.
As usual, we will be seeking volunteers to chair the sessions so please make yourself known if you'd like to help out with the running of the workshop.
Kind regards,
--Paul
p.s. bring something warm, it was -4 C this morning in Canberra !

Dear All,
Attached is the program for the geodesy workshop next week, built from the talk titles that had been submitted as of this morning. If you're not in the program and would really like to give a talk then let me know asap - there is some space at the end of the second day where we could still add a few talks.
The workshop runs 24-25 June. Remember also that Simon McClusky is running the ginan software workshop on 23 June (all day) and all are welcome to attend.
Kind regards,
--Paul
p.s. please forward the program to anyone who you suspect may be interested but not registered to this geodesy-australia mailing list.

Dear Colleagues
Please distribute this to students interested in undertaking a PhD in data science/geodesy. The project is well supported with a $12k/yr topup and substantial project support, and an internship with Geoscience Australia.
Together with CSIRO and Geoscience Australia I am pleased to advertise a new and well supported Industry PhD project.
The project seeks to improve the accuracy of estimates of Australia's 3D motion and deformation. The improved vertical land motion estimates from this PhD will then be applied to improve our understanding of sea level rise around our coastlines.
This collaboration between CSIRO Data61, UTAS and Geoscience Australia will develop novel unsupervised machine learning approaches to detect hidden and subtle changes in highly precise measurements of Earth's changing shape.
Hundreds of continuous GNSS sites now operate across Australia, and tens of thousands globally, allowing Earth's 3D motion to be theoretically tracked at the millimetre level. However, the utility of these data is degraded by undiagnosed and hidden changes in the time series due to hardware, geophysical or environmental changes. Robust and repeatable automated techniques are currently less accurate than laborious manual expert human analysis.
Novel methods that detect hidden, subtle changes in high-precision continuous GNSS time series will be developed and then applied to publicly available data from Australian GNSS sites. This work will improve satellite positioning products used by Australian industry, government and researchers. For instance, quality-controlled data products will improve our understanding of Australia's vertical land motion, and this will directly improve estimates of sea-level rise. Other applications include improving knowledge of the present-day strain of the Australian crust, yielding insights into seismic risk. The developed methods will be operationalised at Geoscience Australia.
This exciting and well-supported project allows a candidate to work on a pressing societal problem and work closely with partners in CSIRO Datat61 and Geoscience Australia. The project will include an internship with Geoscience Australia. There is a global shortage of experts in this area, including within Australia. The expertise provided in this PhD will place the candidate as one of Australia's experts in geodetic data analysis, of which Geoscience Australia is the national lead.
The student will work with a great team including me (Primary Supervisor), Daniel Smith (CSIRO Data61), Anna Riddell (GA), and Christopher Watson (UTAS).
Please get in touch with me if you have any questions. Please note applications will only be considered from Australian citizens or Permanent Residents, or a New Zealand citizens.

Hi All,
Apologies for spamming everyone's inbox with this information about the upcoming Ginan workshop on the Monday 23 June, but I don't have access to the Geodesy Workshop participant list any longer and wanted to let Ginan workshop participants know that the Ginan workshop will start @10:30 am to allow people to arrive in Canberra Monday morning.
The first practical part of the workshop, Building and Installing Ginan and dependencies will probably begin ~ 11:00 if you are later still.
The workshop agenda with approximate timing is attached.
Regards,
Simon
