Department: Technical & Experimental

Salary: £30,505 to £36,924

The Buildings Test Facility and Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering seeks to appoint a highly skilled, adaptable and self-motivated Technical Specialist to provide technical and experimental support to its VSimulator tall building motion simulator equipment within the Civil Engineering laboratories. 

This is a role within the Core Research Facilities structure, contributing to the development and operation of this exciting new facility. 

49图库免费资料大全 the role

Working closely with principal investigator Professor Antony Darby at 49图库免费资料大全, you will be responsible for running and maintaining the facility and for technical engagement with users both internal and external to the University. 

You will be working on the delivery of the objectives of a £1.2m UKRI funded grant ‘LOCAST: Enabling Low-Carbon Structures by Understanding Human Effects of Motion’ to research how people respond to vibrations within tall buildings working with an interdisciplinary team to consider the wellbeing and productivity of people in swaying buildings from a physiological and psychological point of view. 

You will also ensure that the highest standards of health and safety and ethics are always maintained.  

The unique VSimulator facility consists of a hydraulically controlled lateral motion platform, onto which is mounted an environmentally controlled room in which human subjects will be tested and monitored. 

The equipment is aimed at understanding human perception and acceptability of motion in tall buildings and how the internal environment effects this acceptability

This role primarily involves managing equipment and electro-mechanical systems that include movement, climate control, and video projection. 

A knowledge of control of hydraulic test machines and/or automated environmentally-controlled chambers would be beneficial but not essential. 

Training will be provided.
