Post Doctoral Fellow

Position Overview

KU is seeking a highly motivated Post-doctoral Fellow to work on a research project that focuses on the application of nonlinear dynamical concepts, phenomenon, methods, and theories for vibration analysis in structural and rotor dynamical systems. Vibration analysis includes nonlinear vibration suppression and damage detection in rotor and structural dynamical systems. Those with background in nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear vibration, rotor faults nonlinear analysis and health monitoring of structural and rotor dynamical systems are strongly encouraged to apply. Moreover, sufficient level of expertise with numerical simulation and experimental data acquisition and analysis is required.

As part of the project, the researcher will have access to state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities at the vibration isolation lab and will get an opportunity to work alongside with researchers and graduate students from various backgrounds as part of a wider team.

Position Requirements

• Ability to perform numerical simulation and experimental data acquisition and analysis.
• Adhere to the University's information security and confidentiality policies and procedures, and report breaches or other security risks accordingly
• Perform any other tasks assigned by the Line Manager
• Only applications providing relevant nonlinear dynamics background to the position description and satisfying all requirements will be considered.

Qualifications
