Postdoctoral Associate

Job description

Postdoctoral Associate Required Qualification: (as evidenced by an attached resume) Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a closely related field completed by the start date. Preferred Qualifications: We are pushing the limits on shape shifting UAVs! In this project we are rethinking the structures, actuators, sensors, and control systems used in morphing winged UAVs. We focus on embodying mechanical intelligence in structures through experiments ranging from benchtop tests to outdoor flight demonstrations. Candidates should have a strong publication record in aerial robotics and/or structural mechanics. A background with rapid prototyping and robot design as well as RC hobby experience, will distinguish top candidates. A particular emphasis on shape shifting structures will set competitive candidates apart from the field. Brief Description of Duties: The Postdoctoral Associate will assist the Principal Investigator Dr. William Stewart in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and collaborate closely with the Department of Civil Engineering . The incumbent will conduct research and ensure...
