Dr Benedikt Soja appointed as Tenure Track Assistant Professor
At its meeting of 11/12 December 2019 and upon application of the President of ETH Zurich, Professor Joël Mesot, the ETH Board appointed Dr Benedikt Soja as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Space Geodesy.
Dr Benedikt Soja (*1988), is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, USA.
Benedikt Soja’s research focuses on the high-precision determination of terrestrial reference frames. He is particularly interested in quasar interferometry and its interaction with other technologies in space geodesy, especially the increasingly important global satellite navigation systems.
With the appointment of Benedikt Soja, ETH Zurich is founding Switzerland’s only dedicated professorship in the field of space geodesy, thus establishing its position at an early stage in a subject area of increasing global significance.
