Postdoctoral Associate

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Postdoctoral Associate

MIT’s Haystack Observatory, located in Westford, MA, seeks a postdoctoral associate to work closely with radio science researchers on the investigation and development of novel signal processing and computational techniques for sensing and mitigating radio frequency interference.  The goal of this work is to enable geospace and astronomy sensors to remain robust and operational in current and future interference environments. 

Will help develop innovative estimation techniques to identify, characterize, and remove interference sources.  This will involve the exploration and development of novel approaches to approximate adaptive signal cancellation and the analysis of data collected with software radio systems from Haystack Observatory sensors. 

This project is well suited to a postdoctoral researcher interested in exploring areas of applied mathematics, space science, and software radio technology.  

Requirements: 

• Ph.D. in electrical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, astronomy, geophysics, or a related discipline
• Experience with software defined radio systems and analysis of significant astronomy or radar data sets using Julia and/or Python
• Experience with the development and implementation of mathematical techniques or signal processing algorithms in the context of real-world signals
• Effective communication skills
• Experience writing scientific journal articles and giving conference presentations
