Design and development of scientific instruments and innovative measurement techniques for space applications - 2026_IPD_DMEC_10

Description

Offer Description: The research focuses on developing innovative measurement instruments and techniques in the field of mechanical and thermal measurements, specifically for space applications. The work entails the conceptual definition, design, and subsequent experimental validation of measurement techniques and instruments suitable for use on artificial satellites—whether for Earth-orbiting missions or planetary exploration—with a particular emphasis on studying the lunar environment. The research relies on the thermo-structural modelling of instruments to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio and optimise performance within the mission environment, followed by experimental validation. Additionally, the selected candidate will participate in teaching activities related to advanced signal processing for scientific instruments and advanced measurement systems. Additional Information: Eligibility criteria Oral test aimed at ascertaining candidates’ aptitude and suitability to carry out the activity covered by the contract, as well as at assessing their knowledge of English and/or other languages relevant to the activities to be performed (up to 50 points) Relevance and pertinence of the enclosed publications to the activity covered by the contract (up to 20 points) Relevance and pertinence of previous research activities, previous collaborations to educational and third mission activities and work experience, if any, in relation to the activity covered by the contract (up to 20 points) Relevance and pertinence of their study programme to the activities covered by the contract (up to 10 points) Eligible destination country/ies for fellows: EUROPE Eligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: All Eligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: All Selection process In order to participate in the selection, please read the call ("bando") available at the following website: https://www.polimi.it/en/post-doctoral-contracts Website for additional job details https://www.polimi.it/en/post-doctoral-contracts
