Research assistant (m/f/d), EG 13 TV-H - in the field of structural mechanics/structural dynamics

Part-time with half of the regular working time of a full-time employee. The position is initially limited for 3 years with the possibility of extension for another 2 years (qualification position according to § 65 HHG in connection with § 2 Abs. 1 Satz 1 WissZeitVG). The possibility for doctoral studies is given.

Tasks:

The tasks include the scientific work on material characterization and parameter identification of anisotropic and herogenic materials. The work is associated with the project 'Textile Tectonics for Wood Construction (TETHOK)' within the funding program for further profile development of the University of Kassel. The scientific field of activity includes the aspects of conception, development, commissioning and scientific use of a biaxial testing machine. In particular, the materials developed in TETHOK are to be investigated, characterized and the material parameters identified. Furthermore, experimental structural mechanical investigations of selected material-typical components of the TETHOK research program are to be carried out. Numerical methods of mechanics and algorithms of mathematical optimization are used for computer-aided parameter identification of the new materials.

Requirements:

• Completed scientific university studies in the field of mechanical or civil engineering.
• Sound knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, optimization methods, control engineering, design and materials
• Very good didactic skills as well as strong communication and organizational skills

Advantageous are:

• Confident handling of mathematical program packages (Matlab) and knowledge of a higher programming language.
