Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Navigation. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in GNSS Evolutions Advanced Resilient PNT This post is classified F2. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Our team and mission The Internal Research Fellow will be based in the Galileo 2nd Generation System Engineering Unit, Galileo System Procurement Service, Galileo System Office. Overview of the Galileo 2nd Generation System Engineering Unit The GALILEO 2nd Generation System Engineering Unit, under the Directorate of the GALILEO Programme and Navigationrelated Activities DNAV leads the definition of the GALILEO System capabilities for the next decades. Current activities include the preliminary specification and design of the GALILEO 2nd Generation in the frame of the EGEP and the Horizon 2020 HSNAV Programmes. GALILEO 2nd Generation seeks the improvement in coverage, accuracy, timetofix and resilience of the PNT services based on or contributed by GALILEO in the time window between 2025 to 2040. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the ESA website httpwww.esa.int Fields of activitiesresearch Overview of the field of research proposed A research fellow is sought to engage in independent research in the area of resilient Position Navigation and Time PNT considering new GALILEO signalinspace features, user equipment countermeasures as well as multiconstellation and nonGNSS alternative PNT techniques contributing to the definition of new robustness features in GALILEO 2nd Generation. Focus is expected on spoofing detection and mitigation, analysis and design of navigation message authentication, signal authentication and complementary user equipment countermeasures for open service and safetyoflife users. The research fellow will work closely with the GALILEO 2nd Generation System Engineering Unit to define the SignalinSpace and System Evolution according to the expected user needs and user equipment technology improvements. The research fellow is expected to consider the full resilient PNT concept of operation, including the security and trust perimeter for the different user types. Another important aspect of the work will be to cooperate with the System and Segment teams running the deployment of the GALILEO 1st Generation, the 2nd Generation Segment teams and other ESA teams in order to Support the GALILEO signal authentication deployment roadmap, including early deployment of specific features, Define experimentation in Resilience PNT testbeds for proof of concept in ESA laboratories Technical competencies Knowledge relevant to the field of research Researchpublication record Ability to conduct research autonomously Breadth of exposure coming from past andor current researchactivities Interest in space and space research Ability to gather and share relevant information Behavioural competencies Innovation Creativity Continuous Learning Communication Relationship Management Self Motivation Problem Solving CrossCultural Sensitivity Education Applicants should have recently completed, or be close to completion of a PhD in a related technical or scientific discipline.
