POSITION 1: Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in GPS Interference Geolocation

The purpose of this role is to perform research and fulfill the School’s obligations under an ARC Linkage project “Locating Interference to GPS: Protecting the World’s Aircraft Landing Systems”. This project aims to design algorithms and equipment that can identify the location of interference using signal strength, Time-Difference-of-Arrival and Angle-of-Arrival techniques. The position reports to the Director of Research, Associate Professor Andrew Dempster who is the chief investigator for the project.

Main Duties:

• design and run experiments requiring knowledge of GPS systems,
• conduct field work,
• design and evaluate effectiveness of algorithms,
• collaborate with a large team of researchers and research students
• liaise with the industrial partner, a local satellite systems integrator, and
• write up results, to maximize the impact of the work through publications.

POSITION 2: Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in “System of Systems” Satellite Navigation Receiver Design

The purpose of this role is to fulfill the School’s obligations under an ARC Discovery project “Preparing for the next generation global navigation satellite system era: developing and testing user and reference station receiver designs”. This project aims to design algorithms and equipment that exploit all existing and proposed global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals.

The position reports to the Head of School, Professor Chris Rizos, who is the chief investigator for the project.

Main Duties:

• design and run experiments, requiring knowledge of GNSS,
• conduct field work,
• design and evaluate effectiveness of algorithms,
• work with other researchers and research students,
• liaise with other researchers working on sub-sets of the relevant signals,
• write up results, to maximize the impact of the work through publications.
