About this position

Postdoctoral opportunity in Marine Robotics and AUV Navigation at the University of São Paulo (USP), in collaboration with the University of Macau. The position is hosted by the Unmanned Vehicles Laboratory (LVNT) at USP’s Polytechnic School and is centered on the project “Investigation of the Influence of AUV Manoeuvring Dynamics on Its Navigation System.”

The research aims to integrate dynamic models of autonomous underwater vehicle manoeuvring behavior directly into navigation state equations to improve position and attitude estimation accuracy beyond traditional kinematic Kalman filters. The work combines theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and field testing, making it a strong fit for candidates interested in sensor fusion, state estimation, underwater vehicle dynamics, and navigation systems.

Funding: FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship for 18 months, with a monthly stipend of R$ 12,570.00, plus research overhead and relocation aid.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in Control Engineering, Robotics, Navigation Systems, Ocean Engineering, or a related field. Preferred experience includes Kalman Filters, EKF, UKF, Particle Filters, IMU/DVL/GPS/USBL/pressure sensors, Matlab/Simulink, Python, C++, real-time implementation, and field testing.

How to apply: Email your updated CV, a research experience summary, and contact information to Dr. Ettore A. de Barros at [email protected]. Use the subject line: FAPESP Post-Doc HYDRA Application – [YOUR NAME].

Funding details
