Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/x) – E-Sailors (DC6: Electron Emitter for E-sail)

🎖پوزیشن: مهندسی هوافضا، مهندسی برق، فیزیک کاربردی، مهندسی سیستم‌های فضایی

💼 دانشگاه: TU Dresden (Technische Universität Dresden), Germany 🇩🇪

⏰ مهلت: ۳۰ ژانویه ۲۰۲۶

🎯 حوزه تحقیقاتی :
This fully funded PhD position is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network E-Sailors, focusing on the development of an electron emitter (electron gun) for Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) propulsion systems. The research targets the design, prototyping, and testing of a compact, high-voltage (up to 20 kV) electron emitter suitable for space missions such as ESTCube-LuNa, considering strict mass and volume constraints as well as harsh space environments including plasma and atomic oxygen. The project combines experimental research on electron beams, space-qualified hardware development, system integration, and performance/lifetime testing, with international collaboration and a research secondment at Aalto University in Finland. The work contributes to advancing propellant-less deep-space propulsion technologies.
