POSITION OVERVIEW AND REQUIREMENTS:


The Pennsylvania State University is home to the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Research Laboratory and the Penn State Aeroacoustics Lab, both of which are engaged in innovative research aimed at characterizing and mitigating the noise produced by unmanned aircraft.

The UAS Research Laboratory specializes in guidance, navigation, and control research with unmanned aircraft, focusing on fault-tolerant flight control, vision-based navigation/guidance, and pioneering vehicle configurations.

The Aeroacoustics Lab conducts studies on the aerodynamics and acoustics of aircraft, with an emphasis on achieving ultra-quiet operation for advanced vertical lift aircraft.

This role is designed for candidates who can effectively mentor and supervise graduate student researchers in their research endeavors and publication efforts.

Responsibilities encompass assisting in the management of multiple active research projects, engaging with sponsors, and providing comprehensive reports.

Candidates will be responsible for developing software and hardware systems to facilitate unmanned aircraft research experiments across these initiatives, guiding graduate students and other researchers in their implementation and utilization.

Moreover, the role includes supporting flight test operations, which necessitates obtaining FAA Part 107 certification to lead such tests, contributing to ongoing research programs through creative problem-solving, documenting results, and maintaining rigorous configuration management of hardware and software.

A background in performing acoustic measurements of aircraft in flight is essential.
The ideal candidate should possess a Ph.D. in engineering or a related field prior to the start date.
This position is a non-tenure-track, term appointment for one year, with the potential for renewal.
Penn State University is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all its forms.

We celebrate individual uniqueness, cultivate a culture of inclusive excellence that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity, and engage all individuals to help them thrive.
