Postdoc Position in applied, advanced control approaches for vibration suppression in manipulators.
University of Manchester
One post-doctoral researcher position is available now at the Control Systems and Robotics (CSR) Group at the University of Manchester (UoM). One of the CSR group’s most impactful applied research areas is Robotics for Extreme Conditions. This research theme has been extremely successful in bringing in continuous major research investment and activity into the Faculty of Science and Engineering and propelling the University of Manchester to the forefront of robotics engineering research.
This project builds on recent success of a successful project on a control system approach to vibration suppression for a manipulator mounted on a flexible boom structure https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7173272895173947392 .
For this post, you will be stationed at our new RAICo1 labs in Whitehaven, Cumbria, https://www.linkedin.com/company/raicouk, to work within a growing robotics research group of the University of Manchester: three academic members of staff, two research managers and attached post-doctoral and PhD researchers are stationed in Whitehaven. Within RAICo1, the UoM-team is closely working with the other stakeholders UK Atomic Energy Authority and Sellafield Ltd, and their staff stationed at RAICo1 and in Whitehaven.
We look for an excellent researcher with a proven record in applied and advanced control. This project is to develop closed-loop control approaches to suppress Task-Space Vibrations in Robotic Manipulators on a Flexible Platform.
This position is available now for at first a period of up to 1 year, while given demonstrable results and success of the project, the extension of the post beyond one year is expected. To allow for an efficient start, you are in the UK, have finished your PhD (i.e. thesis submitted, awaiting your PhD-viva or a status beyond.)
Enquiries should be sent to Professor Guido Herrmann, guido.herrmann@manchester.ac.uk, and to Dr Anthony Chen siming.chen@manchester.ac.uk. Please include a CV, PDFs of relevant publications, and names of at least three references.
