About this position

This research contract is hosted by the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano in Milano Bovisa. The project is centered on the verification and validation of scientific cameras and their acquisition chains for space missions, with the activity primarily applied to the LUMIO mission.

The selected researcher will work on developing innovative methodologies and techniques to characterize the optical, radiometric, and functional performance of scientific cameras. The project aims to define experimental procedures, quantitative metrics, and models that can assess the quality and reliability of payload science data and quantify uncertainties linked to the instrument, observing scenarios, and data-processing chain.

A substantial part of the work will involve:

  • hardware-in-the-loop campaigns at optical facilities, testing the camera, electronics, and acquisition chain with controlled sources and scenarios;
  • model-in-the-loop campaigns based on synthetic images generated through physically based rendering;
  • correlating simulated and experimental results through models that reproduce illumination, viewing geometry, noise, and operational conditions.

The call belongs to the scientific-disciplinary group 09/IIND-01 – Aerospace Engineering and Naval Architecture and the disciplinary sector IIND-01/E – Aerospace Equipment and Systems. The position is a research contract of two years, renewable once for a further two years, within the Politecnico di Milano research environment.

The funded project reference is ESA LUMIO Phase C.

Funding details

Funding is available; the call references ESA LUMIO Phase C (CUP D53C26001450006). The contract pays an annual gross salary equal to the initial remuneration of a full-time tenured researcher.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree or an equivalent foreign qualification recognized by the committee, or for relevant disciplines a medical specialization degree; candidates in the final year of a PhD or medical specialization programme may apply if they will obtain the title within six months of publication of the call. A maximum of 3 publications may be submitted. The required language is English. Applicants must submit a scientific and professional CV, any supporting documentation, a research proposal, up to 3 publications, and a valid ID; non-EU applicants must also provide residence-permit/visa documentation as applicable.

How to apply

Submit the application and signed summary online through Politecnico di Milano services under Research Contracts. Attach the required CV, proposal, publications, and ID, and pay the participation fee by the deadline. Only applications sent through the specified online procedure will be considered.
