The Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, Technische Universität München, is seeking up to
3 Research Assistants/wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter with opportunity for dissertation
within the DFG project “Control elements and interior equipment in the car”. The goal of this project is to deliver a systematic approach and tools for a time and cost effective development of high-quality haptic control elements in the car. We aim to develop high-quality haptic simulators for control elements and interior components, design psychophysical-motivated haptic rendering algorithms, to standardize measurement procedures, and to derive psychophysical motivated haptic specifications for the design of new control elements.
The project is a transfer project funded by the German Research Foundation that aims at transferring knowledge of the collaborative research centre SFB453 (www.sfb453.de). The project will be carried out in strong collaboration with our project partner Daimler AG. For this project, we are employing ambitious young researcher with interest in the following areas:
- Mechatronic design of haptic simulators and haptic measurement systems
- Haptic rendering
- Psychophysics of haptic perception
This challenging project requires a team of excellent researchers with strong disciplinary background (control, mechanical or electrical engineering, computer science, psychophysics) and a strong interest to work in an interdisciplinary environment. A strong capacity for teamwork is indispensable. Advanced programming skills and experience (C/C++, etc.) are an asset.
The positions are fully paid according to German rules (13 TV-L). Requirements are a successful degree (master/diploma) with excellent records. Please send your application including your complete CV, relevant certificates, and some of your publications by Email to office@lsr.ei.tum.de with the Keyword "PosAutomotive". TUM is especially encouraging minorities and women to apply, because of its strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research, and practice.
