Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, Numerical Modelling of Vibration Isolation in Railway Lines, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech,

Duration: 2 years

The research project
We are looking for a post-doctoral research fellow to work on a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN). The goal of the project is to optimise vibration isolation devices in railway lines, with an emphasis on elastomeric materials based on recycled rubber.

Qualifications
We seek candidates with a strong background in computational mechanics and numerical methods. Desirable expertise includes structural dynamics, visco-elasticity and homogenisation methods.

The research position
Two years of post-doc position starting on January 2012 are funded by the project. The Laboratori de Càlcul Numèric (www-lacan.upc.edu) is a very active research group located in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

Application and selection procedures
Applicants should send their CV, a statement of interest and addresses of two referees to Prof. Antonio Rodríguez-Ferran (antonio.rodriguez-ferran[ at ]upc.edu).

The applicants will be evaluated in terms of their academic record and the adequacy of their background to the project.

Further information
Please contact Prof. Antonio Rodríguez-Ferran by e-mail (see above) or phone (+34 934 015 697) for further information about the project.
