Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time
Job Title: Research Fellow

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Fellow to join our team at the University of Southampton. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing prediction methods and experimental methods for separating wheel and track noise sources and methods for modelling the noise of a passing train from its individual sources.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to work on the EU/Europe's Rail-funded project 'QuietRail', a collaborative project involving 16 European university and industry partners. The project aims to achieve a step change in the prediction and mapping of railway noise and vibration, in the acceptance testing of new rolling stock, and in the promotion of cost-effective noise mitigation.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop prediction methods and experimental methods for separating wheel and track noise sources
  • Model the noise of a passing train from its individual sources
  • Collaborate with the team at the university and with researchers in partner organisations
  • Attend regular project meetings and contribute to the development of the project
  • Report the findings of your work in leading scientific journals and conferences
Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will need to have a PhD or equivalent experience in vibration, acoustics or a related discipline. You will also need to have a detailed understanding and knowledge of a relevant area of noise and vibration and experience of modelling and use of Matlab or equivalent. Specific understanding and knowledge of railway rolling noise and vibration and/or curve squeal and relevant experience in acoustic modelling are desirable.

What We Offer

The University of Southampton is a leading international centre for research in acoustics and vibration and has a reputation as a leader in noise and vibration research for railways in particular. We offer a competitive salary and a range of benefits, including a pension scheme and access to a range of training and development opportunities.

How to Apply

If you are a motivated and experienced researcher looking for a new challenge, please submit your application, including your CV and a covering letter, to the University of Southampton's recruitment team. We look forward to hearing from you.
