Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position, with a 1-year duration starting from early July 2019, to develop vehicle models for model-based suspension control and vehicle state estimation.
The post is part of a collaborative project with a leading supplier of automotive suspension components. A budget for travel and other expenses will be provided, and there will be several opportunities to attend related conferences. The project outcomes will be evaluated on state-of-the-art vehicle demonstrators.
The successful candidate must have a strong background in vehicle dynamics and simulation, and should be a holder of a PhD degree in one of the areas of automotive engineering or mechanical engineering. Also, expertise in the following areas is highly desirable:
Model-based control; Rapid control prototyping; Suspension control.The appointee will join Surrey’s Centre for Automotive Engineering of the Mechanical Engineering Sciences Department, which has research interests in a wide range of topics, including vehicle dynamics control, automated driving, tyre dynamics, electric powertrains, vehicle aerodynamics and novel transmission systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Professor Aldo Sorniotti (tel: +44 (0)1483 689688, email a.sorniotti@surrey.ac.uk) for further information.
