Doctoral and Post-Doct Fellowships
Research Title: “Quality Assurance of
Mechanical Systems and Structures”
About
- The Chair (Unit) of Engineering Mechanics (IfM) is an internationally
recognized research institution, whose scientific staff holds a prominent role
in the development of methods for structural reliability analysis and
computational stochastic mechanics. Project Description – Applicants Profile
- The project in which the applicant will be involved in is entitled „Quality
Assurance of Mechanical Systems and Structures” and is sponsored by the Austrian
Science Foundation (FWF). It is concerned with the development of procedures to
assess the robustness of largescale structural models (e.g. the Ariane Launcher,
shown on the right).
- The ideal applicant has a degree in either civil, mechanical, aeronautical
engineering (or a related discipline), a solid background in computational
mechanics (FE) and programming (MATLAB, C++) and a good command of the English
language. Proficiency in one of the major general purpose finite element codes
(e.g. NASTRAN) and familiarity with probability/statistics are advantageous.
What we offer
- The opportunity to work in an internationally active institute, within a
stimulating and vibrant project group
- The possibility to pursue research interests in computational stochastic
mechanics, leading to a doctoral degree or “Habilitation”, with permanent,
highlevel academic advisorship
- Research in context with engineering applications of great practical
interest
- Competitive salary
