An MIT Funded Postdoctoral Researcher:

Power for Field Robots, Autonomous Vehicles and Sensor Networks.

The Mechanical Engineering Field and Space 
Robotics Laboratory (The FSRL) is studying the 
feasibility of power supplies for field robots, 
autonomous vehicles and sensor networks based on 
micro-fuel cells. Our study focuses on the 
activities in robotics, fuel cells, power 
electronics, mechanical design, control and heat 
transfer.

The team carrying out this research consists of 
several graduate students and a postdoctoral 
researcher.     We are looking for a second 
postdoctoral researcher to support this team.  A 
background and interest in the design, analysis 
and experimental characterization of small and 
compact vehicle power systems based on PEM 
technology, including fuel storage, are highly 
desirable.

The ideal candidate should have a recent PhD and 
experience in engineering.  He or she should also 
be interested in related areas of technology. 
This position will remain open until filled.  MIT 
is an equal opportunity employer, and 
applications from well-qualified women and 
under-represented minorities are encouraged.
