About this position
We are recruiting a fully funded 18-month postdoctoral researcher at the LIRMM, University of Montpellier, France, for a project on Modeling and Optimal Path Planning of an Automated Kite-Based Ship Propulsion System.
The research sits at the intersection of marine robotics, control engineering, optimization, aerodynamics, and mechanical/electrical engineering. The project will study the modeling of a kite-based traction system, including the kite, tethers, and ship, and will develop optimization methods for kite reference trajectories to maximize aerodynamic traction under varying vessel courses and environmental conditions.
A further objective is to account for the energy consumption of the kite’s electric winches in order to improve overall propulsion efficiency. This is a strong fit for candidates with experience in dynamic modeling, trajectory planning, optimization, autonomous systems, and energy-efficient propulsion concepts.
The position is funded by the BPI KIWIN Project under France 2030. The post does not mention a formal deadline in the post; interested applicants should contact the announcer directly and consult the attached document for full details.
Announcer: Ahmed Chemori, CNRS Researcher at LIRMM, University of Montpellier.
