About the Department/College The Radiant Center for Remote Sensing, in partnership with the Dynamic and Active Systems Lab (DASL) in the Steve Sanghi College of Engineering at Northern Arizona University, seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to serve as lead technical researcher on a sponsored research project focused on radio source localization from unmanned aerial systems. This is one of several concurrent postdoctoral scholar recruitments at Radiant Center, and the successful candidate will collaborate closely with fellow postdoctoral researchers and faculty working simultaneously on related projects. About the Position The project, EMS Overmatch, develops and field-tests methods for locating radio-frequency sources using an aerial platform, combining signal-based position estimation with path-planning strategies that guide the UAV toward the vantage points that best resolve a source's location. The work builds on the lab's history of developing UAV-based radio-tracking systems, extending that foundation toward more capable localization and platform hardware for this new application area. The general research plan progresses from building out and validating a single-vehicle localization system. This will include hardware integration, field data collection, and flight testing across the varied terrain around Flagstaff. The program will progress toward more advanced localization and path-planning capabilities as the research matures. The postdoc will supervise graduate student researchers supporting the project, work closely with the PI, and contribute to technical reporting and manuscript preparation. The position is based in Flagstaff, AZ. Work Environment: This position requires a substantial amount of fieldwork, including UAV flight testing across Flagstaff-area terrain ranging from desert and canyon country to ponderosa pine, mixed conifer forest, and alpine tundra (spanning close to 8,000 feet of elevation change within about an hour of campus), as well as occasional overnight or multi-day travel for more distant field campaigns and for conference travel.
