About this position
🇫🇮 4-year PhD opportunity in Geodesy, Geophysics, and Gravimetry at the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI), Department of Geodesy and Geodynamics (GEOGEO), in Finland.
The doctoral project is part of the Research Council of Finland–funded GraFePor project and focuses on gravity variations caused by Fennoscandian Postglacial Rebound / Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA). The research integrates terrestrial absolute gravity measurements and satellite gravimetry to build a state-of-the-art gravity change rate model for Fennoscandia and North America.
Research activities include planning and carrying out field measurements across Finland and Fennoscandia, processing absolute and satellite gravimetry time series, filtering non-GIA environmental mass variations, and modeling GIA mechanisms. The position also includes dissemination through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications with the GraFePor consortium.
Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in Geophysics, Geodesy, Geosciences, or a closely related field; strong programming skills (Python, MATLAB); excellent scientific writing; fluent English; and a valid driving license. Experience with terrestrial/satellite gravimetry, geodetic processing, and GIA modeling is desirable, as are Finnish or Swedish language skills.
The position is full-time for 4 years (Sept 2026–Aug 2030), with partial remote work options and flexible office hours. Salary starts at €2,821–€3,510 per month, plus a personal performance component of up to 45%.
Applications must be submitted electronically via the Finnish government portal. Prepare a motivation letter, CV, academic transcripts, and publication list. Primary contact: Dr. Mirjam Bilker-Koivula.
