Academy Scientist in Satellite Laser Ranging & Space Safety
Austrian Academy of Sciences
Graz, Austria
We invite ambitious candidates who are interested in technology development for new and existing fields of satellite laser ranging (SLR) & space safety at the IWF. We strive for a tight link between SLR technology development/operation and scientific activities in the frame of space safety and ecology. New Machine Learning (ML) software technology should be considered for future development.
Your profile:
- PhD in experimental physics or instrumental astrophysics;
- Experiences in the development of laser systems and/or photonics systems in SLR application;
- Successful integration of optical systems for laser ranging operation;
- Experiences with telescope/observatory operation and electronics development in the field of SLR;
- Track-record in:
- project and people management;
- leading role(s) in SLR related subunit development; and/or
- development of innovative SLR related hardware (e.g. photonics) and/or software (e.g. ML methods) technologies.
- Experience in deriving science output from SLR observations.
Your tasks:
- Strengthening the leading position of the IWF Graz as SLR institution;
- Supporting an existing research group with focus on SLR technology development and operation with a direct link to the IWF’s aspiration to contribute to the theme of space safety & space ecology;
- New developments and research in accordance with the scientific core activities of IWF;
- Managerial support (jointly with senior engineers of the research group) for existing projects (incl., big data SL projects, attitude determination) and collaborations (incl., ILRS, SDLR);
- Proposal writing and reporting of projects in technology development;
- Coordination of the group’s activities to fulfil schedule requirements;
- Supervision of group members and publication activities.
