Research Fellow opportunity in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. 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 Advanced Mission Analysis This post is classified F2 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Description The Research Fellow will be based in the Advanced Concepts Team ACT, a group of research fellows postdocs and young graduates who originate from a broad variety of academic fields and aim at an academic career. Its task is to monitor, perform and foster research on advanced space systems, innovative concepts and working methods. It interacts externally almost exclusively with academia and operates as a truly interdisciplinary team bound to high scientific standards. Via its research, the team acts as a crossdepartmental pathfinder to explore novel, potentially promising areas for ESA and the space sector, ranging from applied to basic fundamental research topics. An important task of the team is to communicate scientific trends and results, as input to the strategic planning of the Agency. The team has been working on improving fundamentals algorithms and methods to aid mission analysis since 2002, pioneering topics such as global optimization for trajectory design and differential algebra in orbital mechanics. Asteroid deflection, autonomous on orbit assembly, distributed control, active space debris removal were studied earlyon by the team facilitating their understanding within the Agency. Candidates are highly encouraged to get familiar with the research done in this field by the team httpwww.esa.intgspACTmadindex.html as well as on the overall research of the ACT and the main activities lines of ESA. Interested candidates are highly encouraged to visit the ESA website www.esa.intESA Fields of activitiesresearch The successful candidate will carry out research in the field of advanced mission analysis, intended as the use of nontraditional guidance, navigation and control techniques. Areas of research are partly chosen by the successful candidate based on hisher own expert judgements and insight into trends and developments and motivation, partly chosen by the team as to follow strategic directions of the Agency. Scientifically shehe will in particular Propose and perform research in the field of mission analysis, where appropriate together with universities of ESA Member States in particular through the Ariadna scheme www.esa.intariadna. Explore synergies between global optimization techniques and lowthrust trajectory models or between differential algebra and guidance and navigation algorithms. Further develop open source software developed by the ACT and of use in advanced mission analysis pygmo optimization, pykep astrodynamics, audi differential algebra Coordinate the team participation to competitions in the aerospace field including, but not limited to, the GTOC. Provide support to all ACT scientific projects by proposing advanced mission analysis concepts and tools. Liaise with the ESA Concurrent Design Facility and the ESA Space Operations Centre in view of transferring knowledge on advanced mission analysis concepts and tools. As ACT researcher, shehe will Publish results in peerreviewed publications and communicate research to broader audiences inside and outside ESA Lead and assist interdisciplinary projects with other ACT researchers Participate together with the team in the assessment of proposed space system concepts and propose new concepts and assessment studies and Perform and participate in assessments on subjects of strategic interest of ESA, and provide inhouse expertise to strategy development. 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 Teamwork Self Motivation Problem Solving Education Applicants must have obtained PhD in either Celestial Mechanics or Aerospace Engineering, subject of the thesis being relevant to the description of the tasks outlined above and aim at an academicresearch career.

Other information The position of Research Fellow at ESAs Advanced Concepts Team is similar to a regular academic PostDoc placement, however with a few notable key differences ACT RFs have no teaching obligations. However, they will likely be involved in the mentoring of Young Graduate Trainees and stagiaires student interns within the team. As the team does not have a professorlike position, ACT RFs are academically more independent than most postdocs. This implies more freedom but also more responsibility for their research directions and approaches. ACT RFs are joining a diverse, changing and interdisciplinary research team embedded in a large space agency, in contrast to a more specialised, focused research group with close or similar competences. ACT RFs need to actively reach out to other disciplines, to bring their competences to interdisciplinary research projects and to encourage other researchers to join them in their core research projects research at the intersections of disciplines. ACT RFs need to communicate their expertise and research results internally and externally, including potential implications and importance for ESAs longterm strategy. For behavioural competencies expected from ESA staff in general, please refer to the ESA Competency Framework. The Agency may require applicants to undergo selection tests. The closing date for applications is 22 February 2018. In addition to your CV and your motivation letter, please add your proposal of no more than 5 pages outlining your proposed research. Candidates must also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by email, before the deadline, to temp.htresa.int. The letters must be sent by the referees themselves. The candidates name must be mentioned in the subject of the email. If you require support with your application due to a disability, please email contact.human.resourcesesa.int.
