英国伯明翰大学计算力学方向博士后职位招聘

　　Research Fellow in Computational Mechanics

　　University of Birmingham - School of Mathematics

　　Full time, fixed term for 2 years

　　This position is part of a cross-disciplinary, intra-European project to develop untethered, realistic, mid-air haptic feedback for the next generation of human-computer interfaces. It is funded by a H2020 “Future Emerging Technologies” grant, and will involve close collaboration with the School of Chemical Engineering. The aim of this portion of the project will be to develop a hybrid Fast-Multipole Boundary Element Method/ Finite Element Method model of the human hand with unprecedented detail, leveraging massively parallel GPU programming. This model will be used to examine and understand the differences in elastic waves in the hand generated by touching different textures, so that they can be recreated experimentally using the state-of-the-art technology of our industrial partners.

　　We are seeking an exceptional scientist, with a strong computational record, to develop this modelling. The post-holder will be joining a friendly and dynamic group of collaborative, interdisciplinary researchers in the mathematical biology group, which sits within the applied mathematics group of the School of Mathematics. The post-holder will furthermore be expected to regularly meet and collaborate with other members of the project based in the School of Chemical Engineering. In summary, the post-holder is expected to:

　　· Work within H2020 FET grant “H-Reality”.

　　· Operate within the areas of advanced numerical methods and applied mathematics, specifically elastics and acoustics.

　　· Analyse and interpret research findings and results.

　　· Contribute to generating funding.

　　· Contribute to public understanding of the discipline through a public engagement programme.

　　The goal is to develop a world-leading simulation of the process of vibrotaction in the human hand, and the unique wave profiles arising from dynamic contact with different textures. We will then solve an inverse problem to recreate these wave profiles where the skin is excited in different manners by our industrial partners’ technologies. This will entail complex mathematical modelling coupled with high-level, bespoke scientific computing. The post-holder will have the opportunity to work directly with the technology, and alongside experimental collaborators in the School of Chemical Engineering.

　　The successful candidate should hold, or have submitted by the agreed start for the post, a PhD or equivalent in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Chemical Engineering or related subject. Extensive experience with scientific computing and continuum mechanics are essential, and due to the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of this project, strong communication and interpersonal skills are also required. The ideal candidate would additionally have experience with Fast Multipole Boundary Element and Finite Element methods, mesh generation, and acoustics.

　　This position can be appointed on either Grade 7 or 8.

　　Grade 7 full time starting salary is normally in the range £29,799 to £38,832. With potential progression once in post to £41,212 a year.

　　Grade 8 full time starting salary is normally in the range £39,993 to £47,722. With potential progression once in post to £53,690 a year.
