Canadian Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships in Spacecraft Dynamics and Control

Canadian Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships (PDRF) are available in Spacecraft Dynamics and Control for a year. Applicants must be citizens of one of the countries under the Canadian Commonwealth Scholarships Program (New Zealand and United Kingdom) or the Government of Canada Awards Program (Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Russia, South Korea and Switzerland).  Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. degree within the last four years or have completed the Ph.D. degree requirements before taking up the award (evidence of submission of dissertation for defence provided by the responsible department head). The total value of the fellowship is $32,000 CAD. The fellowship is not taxable in Canada. The details are available on the following website:

The PDDF 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 Flexible Spacecraft Dynamics and Control, Sliding Mode Control, Intelligent Control, MEMS Actuators and Sensors, 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 Ph.D degree in dynamics and nonlinear control. The candidate must have a strong background in mathematics, dynamics and control.  Experience with MATLAB is essential.  Knowledge of orbital or attitude dynamics is desirable.  The prospective candidate should send (preferably by email) their resumes along with names and contact information of three references as well as copies of research papers before November 16, 2008 to:
