Cranfield University School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing welcomes applications from prospective Research Fellows in Intelligent Engineering for Digital Aviation.
About the Role
We are looking to recruit 4 Research Fellows to support research grants focused on the future of digital aviation, involving uncrewed flight, adversarial artificial intelligence, secure data chain, air space automated management and optimization, counter drone systems and digital twin building. We are recruiting research fellows for these projects to work under the umbrella of our general research vector of autonomous and intelligent systems in digital aviation and advanced air mobility.
As Research Fellow you will contribute to the research activities of the Centre for Autonomous and Cyberphysical Systems, especially concerning the specific projects described above. You will be expected to collaborate with the existing staff working in the area and have communications and meetings with our collaborators within the university or in other international universities.
About You
You will be educated to doctoral level in a relevant subject and have experience of management research using both qualitative and quantitative methods. With excellent communication skills, you will have expertise in social network analysis and a background in Health & Safety would be an advantage.
