The primary responsibility of the researcher will be to conduct research on a comprehensive brake vibration problem (sponsored by a major automotive company) that addresses both experimental and theoretical aspects. The researcher is expected to develop new or innovative methods, lead a team of graduate and undergraduate students, prepare technical reports, interface with the sponsor, make presentations, and prepare project plans and proposals. Potential research areas include system dynamics, nonlinear vibrations, multi-body dynamics, or experimental methods in vibration or controls. Interested candidates must have a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field prior to appointment. Interested candidates should send by email a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, sample articles published, and a list of 3 references, as a single PDF file, to Prof. R. Singh (singh.3@osu.edu). The position is available immediately for a term of one year (with renewal for additional 2 years based on the performance and availability of funds). Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. The Acoustics and Dynamics Laboratory supports active research programs, and has ongoing research supported by national funding agencies (See http://autonvh.org/ for further information and prior publications).
