Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will compute and validate quasi-geoid models for the FCC area and Switzerland while developing gravity field modelling software. Additionally, you will participate in field observation campaigns and provide team supervision for geodetic metrology projects.
Candidates must hold a Master's or PhD in Topography, Geodesy, Surveying, or Geomatics with relevant professional experience. Proficiency in physical geodesy, gravity field theory, and object-oriented programming (Python/C++) is required.
The Geodetic Metrology Group (BE-GM) provides metrology and alignment for accelerator components, beam lines, and experiments across CERN, including geodetic reference systems and gravity field modelling. The Future Projects section prepares technical foundations for upcoming facilities through studies, simulations, and prototyping.
In this role, you will contribute to FCC studies, developing gravity field models for the 91 km tunnel and supporting sub-millimetric alignment of accelerator components and detectors. You will also contribute to the CERN-Swisstopo collaboration to compute the quasi-geoid model required for Switzerland's New Height System.
