ESA program for recruiting Young Graduate

Trainees for one year of work at the European Space Agency.  I encourage you
to candidate for the Electromagnetic opportunity as published on the website
(http://www.esa.int/hr/ygt.htm) .   In particular, in the text you will
notice three different main topics amongst which you will identify the
antenna related one.  Please clearly mention that you would like to work with
antennas if you decide to apply for this position. Application deadline is
the 15  December 2010 and open to ESA member states former students having a
master or a Phd.

The antenna section at ESTEC provides the antenna support to all space
applications being Telecommunication, Navigation, Earth Observation Science
and Human Spaceflight. The technical domain of expertise  covered by the
section are :
-        Reflector antennas
-        Feed systems including multifrequency and high power capability,
-        Array antennas (direct radiating or associated with a reflector),
-        Frequency and polarisation sensitive surfaces,
-        Passive and Active Beam Forming Networks,
-        Fixed and mobile user terminal
-        Low gain antennas,
-        Sub-millimetre wave instruments and technologies
-        Antenna analysis and optimisation with knowledge on antenna and
components modelling tools (POS, GRASP, HFSS, ….),
-        Antenna and payload measurement and test techniques.

Depending on his (her ) background, the YGT will be requested to perform
hands-on tasks using the Electromagnetic laboratories (modelling tools and
antenna measurements). The Antenna test facilities operated by the antenna
section are described in the attached link.
