Postdoctoral Research Associate - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (CEMR)
STATLER COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MINERAL RESOURCESThe Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Benjamin M.
Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University invites applications for a position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in the general area of orbital mechanics, orbit state estimation and filtering, and orbit uncertainty quantification with application to Space Debris Identification and Tracking.
The specific subjects of interest include (1) orbit determination and prediction, (2) observation modeling-data fusion, (3) multi-hypothesis filtering, (4) track custody and data/track association.
Eligible candidates must hold an earned doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field from an accredited university at the time of appointment.
A strong background in astrodynamics, space situational/domain awareness is preferred.
Experience and interest working with space operations, astrodynamics, state estimation, space object characterization, and sensor management is required.
Skills in development and prototyping of algorithms and models used to process and analyze orbital tracking data from a variety of sensor types is also desired.
Responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following primary tasks:
(1) undertaking research in the relevant areas towards achieving the research project milestones and schedule in collaboration with team members across organizations, to also include early-career researchers, research associates, postdocs, graduate research assistants, and undergraduates; (2) identifying and assisting with the acquisition of funding from public, private, and governmental sources; (3) searching scientific literature to select and modify methods and procedures most appropriate for related research goals; (4) writing and presenting research/study status reports for projects and managing regular status updates with the customer in coordination with the program managers; (5) preparing the results of research for publication in relevant conferences and journals; (6) where appropriate, involving and mentoring graduate students in research related activities.
The position is available for immediate start and will be renewed annually dependent on performance and funding.
