The role of the NCAC is to conduct multidisciplinary engineering research addressing issues in Transportation Safety. Areas of research include Vehicle Crashworthiness, Biomechanics and Occupant Modeling, Roadside Hardware Design, and Injury Studies of highway crashes. The NCAC also serves as a centralized forum which combines expertise and research from Government, Industry, and Academia to address safety related issues. Research opportunities exist in occupant safety analysis and finite element modeling of the human body. Activities will include finite element modeling of various human structures, tissue testing and injury analysis to understand and predict the onset of injury during crashes.
Positions are available immediately.
Mechanical Engineering or Biomechanics background is required. Finite element experience is preferred but not required. For more information please contact George Bahouth via email or phone.
