- 8/23/2021 Welcome back students.
- The Acoustics Team at ERDC-CERL is starting to recruit for one full-time research position in acoustics.
If you have any soon-to-be or recent graduates that you think would be a good fit, please have them send a resume and statement of interest to michelle.e.swearingen@usace.army.mil.
We have options for both current students and graduates. If you have any questions or want to discuss with us first, please feel free to call or email.
Major Duties
ERDC-Champaign/Ecological Processes Branch
0801 Series – Engineer Series – Acoustics Focus/DB02?
XXXX Series – Physical Scientist Series – Acoustics Focus/DB02?
This position is to be filled by an acoustical engineer or scientist with broad skills that will be utilized by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Military Noise Team. A candidate qualified for this position will have specialized expertise in physical acoustics, with emphasis on non-linear propagation and/or wave interactions with porous materials desired. Some skill in signal processing and statistical methods is desirable. The candidate should also have an advanced degree in acoustics, physics, or engineering with work or interest in physical acoustics.
Due to the nature of the position, the candidate must have the ability to plan, develop, and conduct basic and applied research with applications to military noise and related areas within the mission of ERDC. The candidate must be able to generate new research ideas that keep ERDC at the forefront of the cutting edge of technology/research, and must be proficient in acoustics. An exceptional candidate will have experience in non-linear acoustic propagation and/or wave interactions with porous materials. Interests that cross theoretical, computational, and experimental regimes are of particular interest. The candidate must have demonstrated excellent writing skills, because they will be expected to regularly publish results of research in peer-reviewed scientific journals and develop research proposals.
Research areas include 1) identification, monitoring, analysis, and prediction of acoustic signals from sources within the distant landscape, and 2) assessing, measuring and mitigating noise from those sources nearby.
- 09/30/2021 Exam I is scheduled for October 7 at 7pm. It will be open notes/open book. Instructions will be posted on the website.
In person will take place in ECEB room 1015.
For online, the exam will be released as a pdf on the website at 5 minutes before the exam start.
You may download the exam when it is released, work on it for two hours and then return the scanned exam to me by no later than 9:10 pm on Thursday October 7, 2021.
During the exam, please logon to zoom (same link as for class or office hours) and have your cameras on and showing you taking the exam
