The candidate will collaborate in the design of the specifications of a sled system to simulate successfully the pitch and vertical accelerations occurring during a real crash. In addition, the candidate will model with finite element modelling techniques collisions to understand the influence of these dynamics into the likelihood of injuries of a car occupant. These activities will be carried out at MOBIOS Lab.
Official master´s degree in Engineering or a similar field. Proficiency in English language. Experience with computer simulation, especially using explicit formulation of Finite Element Analysis (in environments like Ls-Dyna) is required.
One-year contract (full time) with the possibility of starting doctoral studies. 90% of the doctoral tuition fees will be covered by IIT. Starting annual gross salary amounts to 30.555,87 €, including mandatory contributions to the social security system (health insurance, unemployment, etc.). The candidate will benefit from the student services provided by Universidad Pontificia Comillas (library, cultural and sport activities).
