hela Sverige The Department of Applied Mechanics conducts research in the areas of vehicle design and mechanical engineering. The research is often carried out together with national and international academic and industrial partners, and it concerns both fundamental and applied problems.
The division has a large teaching involvement giving basic courses in mechanics and strength of materials and advanced courses in mechanics, FEM, structural dynamics, and optimization of dynamical systems.
Job description
The Division of Dynamics at the Department of Applied Mechanics is seeking a PhD-student to start in the autumn of 2011.
PhD Project: Multicriterion optimization of track properties
The optimal properties of a railway track will be searched for with design parameters being related to the railway sleeper and its interacting track components. The optimization will be multicriterion in the sense that it should target both the failure strength of the sleeper and the long term geometric stability of the track. Since the railway track properties vary significantly in space and time, a stochastic approach to the optimization will be taken. The research work in the project will be reported through scientific papers published in international scientific journals and conference proceedings.
Required qualifications
A suitable background is a Master of Science (Swedish: civilingenjör) in mechanical engineering, engineering physics or civil engineering with emphasis on applied and computational mechanics. A strong interest in modeling, simulation and experimental validation of models is required. Knowledge of the Swedish language is desirable but not a requirement.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
1. An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2. Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
3. Curriculum Vitae
4. Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. The applicants name and the reference number must be written on the first page of the application.
