Applicants are invited to work on the EU funded project Mid-to-High Frequency Modelling of Vehicle Noise and Vibration (MHiVec) as part of a collaboration between inuTech GmbH, the Nottingham Trent University the University of Nottingham, the University of Southampton, and CDH AG. The 2 year project involves developing improved methods for predicting wave transport properties of complex vibro-acoustic structures and testing them in an industry relevant environment together with our associate partners, Jaguar Land Rover. Giving reliable estimates for the wave energy distributions in large built-up structures is an enormous challenge in the mid-to-high frequency regime and is of immediate interest to structural engineers and the manufacturing industry. The task at hand will be to design and develop a state of the art programming tool which combines the numerical schemes devised as part of the project.
Description
Applicants should have either at least 4 years of work experience since obtaining a university degree or hold a PhD degree in one of the following subject areas: computer science, applied mathematics, physics, mechanical or computational engineering. Experience in C++ and in numerical computations using finite element or boundary element methods is essential. Knowledge in wave mechanics such as vibro-acoustics, optics or quantum mechanics as well as Diffpack is desirable.
Due to EU requirements, the candidate must not have worked in Germany for more than 12 months in the last 3 years; German citizens wishing to apply must have worked outside Germany for 3 out of the last 4 years. There are no further restrictions on the nationality of the applicant.
The salary for the position will be determined according to the EU flat rate for a researcher with between 4 and 10 years of experience including the country correction factor for Germany. Before tax, pension and other non-wage labour cost deductions (for both employer and employee) the salary range is from €63421 to €66834, and is determined based on the family status of the applicant according to the regulations of the European Commission ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/documents/about-mca/actions/iapp/iapp_2013_-_guide_for_applicants_-_call_specific_part_en.pdf.
inuTech GmbH is a German consulting company offering software and consulting services in the mathematical and engineering area. inuTech develops and markets the Diffpack Product Line for numerical modelling and simulation and has in-depth experience in the realm of FEM-technology and engineering consulting services.
