  • Prepare and publish high-quality research papers in peer-reviewed journals and present at professional conferences.
  • Mentor and supervise graduate and undergraduate students working on space robotics.
Requirements
  • PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science with a focus on dynamics and control.
  • Experience with autonomous robotics for space exploration or satellite servicing missions.
  • Experience with machine learning techniques for robotic decision-making and intelligent control for tasks with high uncertainties.
  • Experience with research on multi-agent collaboration and decentralized control.
  • Familiarity with space mission design and analysis, particularly in rendezvous, proximity, and docking operations.
  • Knowledge of space hardware and systems, including satellite platforms, robotic arms, sensors, and actuators for space applications.
  • Strong communication and writing skills, with the ability to present complex research findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, and MATLAB for spacecraft modeling and simulation.
  • Experience with simulation environments and tools used in space research.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
  • Access to state-of-the-art spacecraft and robotics research facilities.
  • Opportunities for professional development, including participation in national and international conferences.

The University of Cincinnati offers a wide array of complementary and affordable benefit options to meet the financial, educational, health, and wellness needs of employees and their families. Eligibility varies by position and FTE.
