Research Fellow - GNSS Positioning and Navigation

Curtin University of Technology

Description

As a Research Fellow, you will contribute to the Australian Research Council (ARC) funded research project titled “Tracking Formation-Flying of Nanosatellites Using Inter-Satellite Links”.

You will work within a team of energetic Geomatics researchers and carry out research in GNSS positioning and navigation and its application in space for LEO satellites and CubeSats.

You will participate in research activities including algorithm development, data collection, performance of computations, analysis of results, publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.

Essential Criteria: To be successful, a PhD in geodesy/Space or a closely related scientific/engineering field is essential. Your demonstrated expertise in scientific programming in Matlab and one of Python or C languages is required. You should also have an emerging track record of self-motivated progress in academic research.

Work Requirements Practical and theoretical knowledge of precise GNSS positioning is required and experience in its application in space, e.g. for Leo satellites is desirable. Synopsis of the project you will work in: Formation flying, based on distributed miniaturized satellites, such as Cubesats, is envisioned to revolutionise the way the space-science community conducts autonomous missions. The project will develop a purely kinematic concept exploiting the full capabilities of GNSS carrier-phase measurements for instantaneous precise orbit of the Cubesats; and an extension to more complex formation configurations. The project will also pioneer the use of the satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) in this application, supporting the future Australian SBAS program, and the development of integrated algorithms for space-based Precise Point Positioning with fixed ambiguities supported by SBAS.

Benefits and Remuneration:

The salary ranges presented are those which are contained within the University's Enterprise Agreements; as are the employee benefits which include employer superannuation contribution at the rate of the current Government Superannuation Guarantee amount up to 17 percent, study assistance, a comprehensive salary packaging and wellness programs and flexible and family friendly work practices.

The position is for immediate start with the successful applicant.
