The Unmanned Aerial System Center (UAS) at the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at SDU is offering a PhD position starting from 1. March 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. The PhD candidate will work on the GENIUS project recently funded by Innovation Fund Denmark (see https://genius.aero).

The research activities will focus on the development of UAS applications and technologies based on novel 5G UAS network services. Key topics include environmental monitoring using fully autonomous UASs; reusable software components and embedded hardware components for 5G-based communications during autonomous operations; the use of these components to implement key services such as Detect And Avoid (DAA), high-reliability positioning and support for RTK GNSS, Quality of Service (QoS) awareness; and risk assessment based on the EU SORA framework. The results will be demonstrated on a use case in collaboration with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

The successful candidates are expected to have:

  • Master's degree (equivalent to a Danish master's degree) in UAS, mobile robotics, embedded systems, or related fields.
  • Strong background in UAS technology and experience with system integration and experimental UAS applications.
  • Good programming skills (C++, Python, ROS)

Additionally, the candidate should have excellent writing skills and be able to work independently. The ideal candidate also has experience in 5G-based communications and the EU SORA framework.

The successful candidate for the position will be affiliated with the UAS center at the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, the University of Southern Denmark (https://www.SDU.dk/uas).
