Post-doctoral position in GNSS Signal Processing – 18-month public law fixed-term contract

A Grande École d’ingénieur généraliste from IMT-Institut Mines-Télécom, the leading group of engineering schools in France, IMT Atlantique aims to support transitions, train responsible engineers, and leverage scientific and technical excellence for teaching, research, and innovation.

Within the framework of the project "Reception of GNSS Signals on Multi-sensor Antenna and Jammer Rejection", which aims to improve the robustness of GNSS (GPS, Galileo) reception systems against jamming and spoofing threats for the needs of ArianeGroup, we are recruiting a post-doctoral researcher within our Mathematical and Electrical Engineering (MEE) department.

Under the functional responsibility of Thierry CHONAVEL and Abdeldjalil AISSA EL BEY and in collaboration with the project team and the company ARKANE, you will analyze the state-of-the-art of jamming and spoofing threats affecting GNSS systems. You will be responsible for modeling and simulating realistic GNSS and interfering signals by defining suitable antenna array geometries. Your missions will also include the design and implementation of space-time signal processing methods, comparing classical approaches with hybrid techniques integrating artificial intelligence. Finally, you will develop adaptive algorithms to ensure interference detection in dynamic environments and actively participate in the scientific valorization of the results.

Consult the detailed job description

✔️ You have skills in signal processing (space-time, filtering, detection) and in modeling/simulation.
