Publicerad 2024-12-03
An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate in the Transport Section, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, to work on developing models, algorithms and platforms (digital and physical) for resilient system-of-systems Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT).
This is a full time, fixed term post for 3 years.
You will develop and test models, algorithms and platforms (digital and physical) for a high accuracy, high integrity, high continuity and high availability resilient system-of-systems PNT Global Navigation Satellite Systems and terrestrial systems/sensors and spatial databases for use in all conditions and environments for all applications.The system developed should address both front-end (user/service level) and back-end (sub-functional level) positioning requirements for complete situational awareness, planning, decision making and operational (movement) control.You will also carry out research programmes in PNT, undertake project management, submit publications to refereed journals and attract external research funding. You will hold a PhD (or equivalent) in PNT, Geospatial/Geomatic Engineering, or any related field.You will have experience of research in PNT systems together with mathematical and statistical and statistical methods for high performance data fusion/integration for synergistic/complementary positioning and navigationKnowledge of systems engineering including requirements, design, development/prototyping, testing and validation is essential together with the ability to produce coding in Matlab, C/C++, and Python.You will also have excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to provide team management.
