Fixed Term Contract for 24 months

Full-time starting salary is normally in the range of £37,337 to £39,316 per annum

Location: Cranfield

We welcome applications from prospective Research Fellows in Autonomous Navigation.

About the Role

Our reputation for leading in the field of digital systems: sensor data and signal processing for position, navigation and timing (PNT), and machine learning has been established through active research in this field. The research group you would be joining is focused on the research of AI-enhanced emerging technologies supporting wider adoption and improved safety of operation of autonomous systems, such as enhanced situational awareness, robust and resilient PNT. The application of these technologies spans both present air and land systems and future autonomous ones, for example, Urban Air Mobility. Research work covers both funded research (from research councils and directly from clients) and academic provision (MSc and PhD).

About You

You will be educated to the doctoral level in a relevant subject and your skills & knowledge will mean that you can contribute to research & some teaching activities such as (1) research in emerging technologies enabling robust and resilient autonomous system operations: PNT, surveillance and conflict management, (2) teaching in machine learning, sensor technologies and PNT technologies for our MSc courses, (3) engage with academic, business and defence stakeholders to develop and deliver research projects, and (4) assist in activities in the group with other academics, researchers and students. You will be expected to collaborate with the existing staff working in the same group and centre and have communications and meetings with our collaborators within the university, the industrial and defence partners, or in other universities.
