About Hilbert College

Basic information and contact details for Hilbert College

institution

Hilbert College in the town of Hamburg, New York was originally founded as a teacher training school in 1957. Today Hilbert is a private liberal arts college run by the members of the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church. The school was named after Mother Collette Hilbert, a Franciscan nun of the Franciscan Sisters of Saint Joseph, who were responsible for establishing the school to train members. In 1964 women from outside the catholic faith were allowed to join for the first time and in 1969 the college began admitting men. This led to an increase in student numbers and the creation of a new campus. The college started awarding four-year bachelor’s degrees in 1992 and in 2011 the college opened its first graduate programs.

Today Hilbert College serves a relatively small number of students, most of whom study undergraduate degrees. The college offers around 16 undergraduate majors and 16 minors in a wide range of subjects from business management and accounting to forensic science and rehabilitation services. There are also master’s level programs available in public administration and criminal justice administration.

The college campus covers 60 acres in a suburban setting in the town of Hamburg, just 20 minutes away from Buffalo, New York. There are 11 main buildings housing the college’s academic and residential facilities. The campus also has sporting and leisure facilities as well as the Swan Auditorium and the Hafner Recreation Centre which provide students with the opportunity to relax and engage with some of the college’s cultural offerings.

Research Fellow in Space Propulsion

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton

institution

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton


Applications are invited for a post-doctoral Research Fellow position within the Astronautics Group, in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The post will work on a collaborative project involving industry and academia, funded substantially by the UK Space Agency. This is part of the UK Space Agency National Space Innovation Programme just announced by UKSA. The overall project is to develop a dual mode chemical-electric space propulsion system, using water as the propellant. Through electrolysis of water oxygen and hydrogen are produced, which can both be burnt in a chemical thruster, but also used as a propellant within a Hall Effect ion thruster. The project involves companies Protolaunch (chemical thruster) and Naicker Scientific (electrolyser), with University of Southampton working on the development of a Hall thruster operating on oxygen. Specifically the Research Fellow position will involve the design, manufacture and testing of a Hall ion thruster operating on oxygen. This will be based upon our World leading expertise in the development of Hall thruster technology specifically operating on alternative propellants, as described in other publications (doi: 10.1016/j.actaastro.2023.07.047, and 10.1016/j.actaastro.2023.01.033). The research will make use of our identified methods to adjust Hall thruster designs for operation with alternative propellants, that we have applied to Hall thrusters operating on magnesium to nitrogen.  You will join a team of eight researchers working on different aspects of space propulsion, as part of our team working in the David Fearn Electric Propulsion Lab at the University of Southampton. It will be expected that the researcher actively engages with industry involved, and with the research team, with opportunities to travel to conferences during the project duration. It is desirable that the person has experience in designing and testing ion thruster technology, or a demonstrated aptitude for learning new fields of research. The person should have a PhD, or equivalent qualifications and experience, in aerospace engineering, experimental beam physics, or other ion beam uses. It is desirable that the person has experience of operating large vacuum chamber facilities, and a strong aptitude towards experimental testing. Additionally, a strong track record of high-quality journal publications is an advantage. If you have any questions please contact Dr Charlie Ryan, c.n.ryan@soton.ac.uk. At the University of Southampton, we value diversity and equality. The University recognises that employees may wish to have working patterns that fit with their caring responsibilities or work-life balance. Due consideration will also be given to applicants who have had career breaks for reasons including maternity, paternity or adoption leave, disability or illness. Both the University of Southampton and Chemistry are proud to hold Athena Swan Silver Awards.
