For a new project in collaboration with industry, a new position is open: develop and numerical implementation of advanced algorithms for acoustic wave scattering, acoustic imaging, acoustic cloaking, and various forms of acoustic wave control, in real-time in two- and three-dimensional domains.
Additional information:
- Full-time job
- The start date is flexible; the position will commence upon the hiring of the suitable candidate
- Prospects for long-term employment
To apply, please send your resume and a concise cover letter to:
- Dr. Lea Beilkin at leabeilkin@tau.ac.il
- Prof. Amir Boag at boag@tau.ac.il
The candidate is expected to be well acquainted with two and three-dimensional acoustic and/or electromagnetic wave propagation theory, in particular scattering calculations and imaging, as well as to be able to realize the algorithms in numerical simulations.
Required Skills:
Specifically, knowledge and experience are sought in the following fields:
- Target Echo Strength (TES) and/or Radar Cross Section (RCS) computations
- Geometrical/Physical optics
- Near Field imaging
- Scientific Computation (Integral equation-based methods, Finite Difference Time and Frequency Domain methods, or similar)
- Software: MATLAB, Python, Fortran, or similar
- Control Theory – advantage
- Radar/Sonar simulation – advantage
Required Education:
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or Physics.
We look for candidates of diverse scientific backgrounds and skills, including:
1. Design and analysis of wave propagation in acoustic/elastic periodic structures, lattices, metamaterials, and metasurfaces.
2. Design of electric circuit networks.
3. Control of distributed-parameter systems/partial differential equations.
4. Analysis of topological wave phenomena in Condensed-Matter Physics.
5. Dynamical simulations programming of multiple-degree-of-freedom systems, controlled in closed-loop, in Matlab, or similar software.
6. Construction of Finite Element simulations of acoustic waveguiding systems.
If you are motivated and passionate about active control of waves in acoustic/mechanical/electronic metamaterials, and at least one of the above applies to you, we will be happy to have you in our lab!
Application deadline: October 31
Background in Physics or Mechanical/Electrical Engineering.
