Job Details

The particular application focus for this research position is in maritime systems, where main and auxiliary machinery can cause problems associated with crew and passenger comfort, structural integrity and where increasingly radiated noise is seen as a hazard for marine life. Although a range of passive vibration and noise control measures are used in practice, they do not provide effective control at low frequencies. This programme will, therefore, focus on the development of innovative and effective active solutions for a range of noise and vibration control problems.

Due to the collaborative nature of this programme, you will benefit from working closely with our industrial sponsors and be responsible for developing systems from fundamental concepts through to full-scale industrial application. This will provide the opportunity for career development within an industrially focussed research environment with the high potential for employment in either the academic or industrial sectors.

You will have a PhD* in acoustical engineering, signal processing, control or a related area along with a detailed understanding of and knowledge in the fields of active noise and vibration control. Additionally, you will ideally have experience in the design and implementation of complete active control systems from the system hardware through to the signal processing, as well as an ability to undertake analytical and numerical analysis.

This is a full time fixed term post. Although the position is initially for a fixed term for 12 months, there is a high probability of further extension based on availability of funding.

Informal enquiries are welcomed by contacting Dr Jordan Cheer: j.cheer@soton.ac.uk
