Although the purpose of these networks is to provide precise positions, these data are also sensitive to hydrologic variables, including soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation water content. The University of Colorado in Boulder is leading an effort to develop water cycle products from these data. We seek a postdoc for 1-2 years to work with our interdisciplinary team of geodesists and environmental scientists. The candidate should have a PhD in geodesy, electrical engineering or an earth science discipline focused on active remote sensing. Candidates should have a working knowledge of computer programming (unix, Matlab, C or Fortran).</div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); "> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Other requirements:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Ability to work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Supervise field studies to validate GPS-derived water cycle products.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Develop models and retrieval algorithms for reflected GPS signals.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Compare GPS water cycle products with other remotely sensed data.</div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); "> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Times; color: rgb(35, 32, 32); ">Our group is led by Kristine Larson (Dept.
