About this position
UNSW Sydney is recruiting for an ARC Discovery Project in Lunar Positioning, Navigation and Timing (Lunar PNT). The opportunity spans two openings: a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellow in Lunar Positioning and Timing and a fully funded 3-year PhD scholarship for eligible candidates.
The research sits at the intersection of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT/GNSS), estimation, filtering, sensor fusion, spacecraft navigation, autonomous systems, and cislunar dynamics (desirable but not essential). The project is supervised by Andrew Dempster and Yang Y., and is associated with the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) and UNSW Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
Applicants are welcomed from space engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, applied mathematics, and related disciplines. The PhD scholarship includes a stipend at the current UNSW PhD scholarship rate of A$39,206 p.a. tax-free (2026 rate) plus tuition fee support for eligible candidates. The postdoctoral role is a 3-year appointment.
Location: UNSW Sydney, Australia.
Deadline: Postdoctoral applications close on 1 September 2026. The PhD opportunity is open until the position is filled.
Interested applicants should use the postdoctoral application link for the postdoc role and contact Andrew Dempster or Yang Y. for either opportunity if they want to discuss fit or eligibility.
