| Poste | PhD scholarship opportunity in vibroacoustics |
| Descriptif société | The Acoustics Research Unit (ARU) at the University of Liverpool in the UK specialises in research, supervision of postgraduate research study, training, knowledge exchange and consultancy. The research focuses on airborne sound and structure-borne sound in the fields of engineering acoustics, building acoustics, room acoustics, audio acoustics, psychoacoustics, speech intelligibility, privacy and security, human vibration (including vibrotactile stimuli), environmental noise and industrial acoustics (sonic cleaning). Particular emphasis is placed on the development of prediction models with validation using laboratory experiments, development of new measurement procedures, and experimental studies on subjective evaluation. |
| Descriptif poste | Applications are invited for a postgraduate student to join the Acoustics Research Unit at the University of Liverpool for a three-year funded scholarship to carry out research that will lead to the award of PhD. The PhD research is expected to be in the general area of engineering acoustics concerning sound and structure-borne sound transmission that is relevant to the automotive, space, aeronautical, marine or construction industries. The research topic should focus on prediction modelling for vibroacoustics or structure-borne sound alongside experimental validation. Applicants are welcome to propose a research topic or to develop one of the following topics: substrate-borne vibration intensity in layered media on land/sea, Transient Statistical Energy Analysis with structure-borne sound sources, or direct and flanking transmission with sandwich panels. If you wish to discuss the topic informally, please contact Prof. Carl Hopkins (email: |
| Profil recherché | A degree (First or Upper Second) in physics or engineering, or equivalent, is required. Experience in acoustics, vibration and structural dynamics is highly desirable. For International applicants, the English language requirement is for an IELTS score of overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (alternative English language requirements are given at https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/degrees/architecture/). The expectation is that the successful candidate will start in September/October 2024. |
