Organisation/Company Dip. Ingegneria meccanica e aerospaziale-Sapienza Università di Roma Research Field Engineering » Aerospace engineering Researcher Profile Recognised Researcher (R2) Leading Researcher (R4) First Stage Researcher (R1) Established Researcher (R3) Application Deadline 8 Nov 2026
- 23:59 (UTC) Country Italy Type of Contract To be defined Job Status Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The research activity focuses on the development and validation of numerical models for the structural and dynamic analysis of a long-range rover, with particular emphasis on its suspension system. The candidate will investigate different rover configurations through FEM simulations and develop a multibody dynamic model including wheel and terrain deformability to accurately reproduce the response of the locomotion system. The activity will also include the integration of position sensors, such as encoders installed at suspension joints, to estimate the rover configuration and define feedback strategies for the drive motors aimed at improving vehicle attitude, maneuverability,



and mobility performance Additional Information Eligibility criteria up to 60 points for the relevance and significance of qualifications, publications (max 2) and scientific and professional curriculum vitae
- up to 40 points for the interview REQUIREMENT: Master's Degree in Space and Astronautical Engineering (LM-20), Mechanical Engineering (LM-33), or an equivalent qualification, obtained no more than six years prior to the application deadline. Additional qualifications may include research experience, internships, thesis work, academic projects, or extracurricular activities related to aerospace or mechanical engineering, robotics, numerical modeling and simulation, structural or dynamic analysis, and, more generally, the development and analysis of complex systems other requirement:A suitable curriculum should include expertise in aerospace or mechanical engineering, with particular emphasis on the analysis and modeling of complex systems. Relevant backgrounds may include structural, dynamic, or systems engineering, together with experience in the use of numerical and simulation tools for the study of mechanical and robotic systems. Knowledge of both iItalian and English languages.
