Job Summary
The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) welcomes applications for a Temporary Researcher.
Who We Are
CU Boulder is the place for aerospace. Our students and faculty are pushing the limits of aeronautics and astronautics research, crafting next-generation aircraft, growing the possibilities of remote sensing, and building space instruments and satellites for orbit around Earth and beyond!
Our mission is to provide students the highest quality education in aerospace engineering sciences, emphasizing hands-on learning, and to conduct fundamental, applied, and interdisciplinary research to meet societal needs through analysis, design, and implementation of aerospace systems, using connections between aerospace engineering and related sciences. We are home to 56-tenure track, research, and instructional faculty, over 500 graduate students and 1,000 undergraduates.
What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be
As a research assistant, you will assist in the analysis and development of application software that aims to protect the identities, locations, and communication connections of the network users from being identified.

On this project, you will have the opportunity to work with senior faculty and learn how research is conducted at the highest level. You will be expected to independently expand your skills and knowledge related to the research.
