The studentship is available for three years, and the student is not required to undertake any teaching activities. The student will join a rapidly expanding research group working on a number of space related control research projects, e.g. flying qualities analysis for hypersonic re-entry vehicles, worst-case analysis of autonomous satellite rendezvous systems, LFT-modelling for satellite applications and robust flight control of launcher systems.
The student will also have the opportunity to work closely with industrial control engineers from a number of leading space companies, as well as research scientists from the European Space Agency. This is a fantastic opportunity for a young researcher to obtain direct experience of cutting-edge control research in a number of European space programmes. Candidates should have an outstanding academic record and a first-class Bachelors degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
The ideal candidate would also have a Masters degree in Systems or Control theory,
or Aerospace Engineering with a specialism in flight control and dynamics. Candidates should apply in the first instance by email to Dr. Declan Bates ( dgb3@le.ac.uk ), attaching a detailed CV and the names of up to three referees.
Applications will be accepted until the post is filled.
