Professor David Smith’s laboratory currently seeks a postdoctoral researcher programmer for a satellite metasurface antenna research project. The project aims to develop low-cost microwave antennas for low earth orbit (LEO) radar imaging. This antenna platform will support a multi-satellite constellation that will be able to conduct rapid revisit synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
Background among the following is required: RF systems, microwave circuits, programming, electromagnetic (EM) simulation, radar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), antennas, printed circuit boards (PCBs), digital electronics, or metamaterials and metasurfaces. You will lead different antenna subsystem design and development, while working with other postdocs, students, and lab members. An advanced degree in electrical (or other) engineering, physics, or math is required. This position will last one year, with a possible extension. Please contact Dr. Michael Boyarsky (michael.boyarsky@duke.edu) if interested.
