About the Embry-Riddle Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems: ERAU's Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems (CARS) is the Embry-Riddle wide research center dedicated to advancing aviation and aerospace resilient systems, focusing on aerospace cybersecurity. CARS is committed to collaborating with industry and government partners, providing innovative solutions to pressing resilience challenges. The Center's work spans a broad spectrum of systems-related domains such as: aviation & aerospace cybersecurity including cutting-edge tools for enhancing cybersecurity in the operational technology (OT) domains, artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) and data science / data analytics, software engineering, advanced air mobility (AAM) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) technologies, human-machine interfaces, virtual and augmented reality training systems, airspace/airport simulation & modeling, and civil aviation airspace systems. The Center also maintains a vast historical Air Traffic database (archived since 1999). CARS has a support staff in place to assist with proposal development and project management. CARS is at the forefront of driving resilient systems innovation to foster a safe, secure, and resilient future of the aviation and aerospace ecosystem. Job Description: CARS is seeking Post Doc Research Scientists to help to strengthen and grow the CARS research portfolio, with a near term focus on aerospace cybersecurity research in the defense systems, civil aviation, and space systems domains. This research position will support the acquisition, execution, and leadership of high-quality research, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in enhancing aviation and aerospace resilient systems. This research position may choose to have some teaching responsibilities, in order to support engagement of students in the research experience. CARS is seeking highly motivated researchers who can collaborate effectively with faculty members and research personnel to pursue innovative projects and contribute to the overall mission of the Center. The Center's mission is to be a world leader in the research and innovation of safe, secure, and resilient aerospace system solutions that meet the needs of our global aerospace community. Strong research-focused candidates eager to proactively identify and address key aviation and aerospace systems resiliency challenges are encouraged to apply. Position Levels: Depending on preparation and experience, the position can be set at various levels, including Research Scientist, Senior Research Scientist, or Principal Research Scientist. These positions provide diverse opportunities for individuals at different career stages to become part of a dynamic team and contribute to CARS research initiatives in aviation and aerospace resilient systems. Research Scientist Serves as an independent scientific researcher, or a collaborator on a multi-scientist research initiative, and may have lead responsibility for discrete components of a larger project under the general direction of a senior or principal researcher.
Senior Research Scientist An accomplished and experienced professional researcher who conducts significant original research or serves as a senior collaborator on a multi-scientist research initiative, typically leading substantive aspects of the overall project under the general guidance of a principal researcher. A Senior Research Scientist may serve as a co-investigator on a funded scientific research project.
Applicants with the following expertise are encouraged to apply:
Candidates possessing a diverse range of these expertise areas will be well-prepared to effectively contribute to the realization of CARS's vision, mission, and objectives aimed at advancing aviation and aerospace systems resilience. Additionally, candidates must demonstrate proficiency in generating financially viable and pertinent research proposals, followed by effective project execution upon securing contracts. A forward-looking perspective on the aviation and aerospace systems industry, coupled with strong verbal and written communication skills, is imperative. The capacity to thrive in industry, government and academic environments is mandatory. Supervision and project management, conducted in a collaborative yet results-driven manner, are pivotal for long-term success. Successful candidates for this role are individuals with a proven history of autonomously initiating and executing research outside of established research centers. Diversity Embry-Riddle values diversity: we respect the rights and property of all individuals, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, physical disability, economic background, sexual orientation, or religious belief. We believe in a community where all members are welcome, and individuals or groups are free from harassment.
