ELOP AS are developing and will market and sell three-dimensional ultrasound-based imaging systems for nondestructive inspection (NDI). The company, which is located in the Hamar region, will develop a unique low frequency ultrasound technology (patent pending) and work with leading technology institutes, companies and customers in Norway and abroad. The basic technology supported by “Det Regionale Forskningsfond Innlandet” and Innovation Norway, is unique in a global context, and by building a well functioning organization Elop will form the foundation for future success. To participate in this exciting development we are seeking postdoctoral for a 2-year commitment, but with the possibility of subsequent permanent employment. Postdoc – Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique. The position connected to the project ” low frequency transducers and instrumentation for NDI of solid materials” will apply synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) to improve resolution, signal to noise ratio, and image quality of the ultrasonic imaging system. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who like to work in a team and participate in research and development. The candidate must have a PhD degree and should be able to document expertise in terms of publications and/or work experience, within one or preferable more of the following fields: Imaging based on SAFT or equivalent knowledge from synthetic aperture radar/sonar. Processing and visualisation of data generated by multichannel ultrasonic systems Imaging of inhomogeneous materials and/or estimation based on invers filtering. Transducer development and/or design of transducer systems Analogue electronics for transducer systems. Numerical modelling of ultrasonic/radar/sonar systems We offer an interesting position in an entrepreneur company, with salary and terms according to agreement. The appointment is made on the basis of an overall assessment of written and oral information about the applicant's academic background, merit and motivation to work with project issues.
