Research Associate/ Assistant in Aerial Robotics
Applications are invited for a fully funded position at the Research Associate level within the Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARQ), School of Engineering and Material Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. The project is funded by NERC, under the supervision of Dr. Ketao Zhang and Dr. Paul Balcombe. The project will investigate environmental monitoring approaches with multiple aerial robots.
The post holder will be responsible for research activities and the development of multi-agent aerial robotic systems, as well as working closely with project collaborators. You will perform research and development in aerial robotics, specialising in developing smart morphing structures and sensor integration of aerial robotic systems as well as developing appropriate control algorithms to navigate multiple aerial robots in dynamic environments.
About You
Applicants should have a PhD or close to completion (or equivalent) in Engineering or a related discipline for appointment at the Research Associate Level.
