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.

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.
