Two Ph.D. studentships in the Dept. Aerospace Engineering, Ryerson Uni

Two Ph.D. studentships and one Postdoctoral fellowship are available
in Spacecraft Dynamics and Control, and Space Sensors and
Actuators. The student will work in the Department of Aerospace
Engineering, Ryerson University (www.ryerson.ca/aerospace). The
research will be supervised by Dr. Krishna Kumar, Canada Research
Chair. Dr. Kumar's areas of research include Nonlinear Dynamics and
Control, Sensors and Actuators, Sliding Mode Control, Intelligent
Control, Orbit and Attitude Dynamics and Control, Formation Flying,
and Underactuated Systems (refer to the web page:
http://www.kdkumar.com) . These are challenging research and involve
theoretical and experimental work. The candidate should have a
Master's/Ph.D. degree in mathematics/physics or
mechanical/aerospace/

electrical engineering with a focus on dynamics,
nonlinear control, sensors and actuators. The candidate must have a
strong background in mathematics, dynamics and control. Experience
with MATLAB is essential. Know ledge of orbital or attitude dynamics
is desirable. The candidates for PhD studentships must be Canadian or
permanent resident. The prospective candidate should send (preferably
by email) their resumes along with names and contact information of
two references as well as copies of research papers before December
18, 2009 to:

Dr. Krishna Kumar, Associate Professor
Canada Research Chair in Space Systems
Department of Aerospace Engineering
