.Postdoctoral Fellow - Smart Manufacturing Research Group on Cyber-Physical SystemsPostdoctoral Fellow – Smart Manufacturing Research Group on Cyber-Physical SystemsAbout the Employer:Tecnológico de Monterrey, the leading private University in México, continues strengthening and renewing the commitment to its research strategy, making research an institutional priority to:Significantly contribute to the quality of its teaching-learning process (Educate), transform the scientific and technological knowledge into innovative solutions that benefit society (Innovate) and transform, through knowledge generation and transfer, impacting the community in economic, political and social aspects.
Aimed to fulfill these objectives, Tecnológico de Monterrey has designed an action-research model, named Research that Transforms Lives, based on a collaborative, interdisciplinary and open innovation ecosystem, with the participation of researchers, teachers, professional and graduate students.
Research that Transforms Lives objective is to be an engine that generates innovative solutions for the economic and social development of México.
40 Research Groups with Strategic Focus have been established where the scientific activity starts from a specific challenge, which is connected with a discipline and, more precisely, connected with specific topics and approaches.
The entire scientific publication effort is done having in mind an application context, either to support the productive sector or to satisfy the communities' social demands on issues such as health, food, education, housing, transportation, business, public policy, among others.The role is part of the Research Group on Cyber-Physical Systems at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where the successful candidate will engage in areas including Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Cyber-Physical Systems.They will collaborate with Professors Horacio Ahuett and Thomas Kurfess from Georgia Tech.
The candidate is expected to work with industry partners and conduct research to develop digital mechanics and cyber-physical systems capabilities.To expand on the listed responsibilities, the candidate will not only conduct research but will also take on a leadership role as a project coordinator.
This implies that they should have strong project management and team leadership skills.
Mentoring students suggests that they will also need teaching or coaching skills.
Publication in peer-reviewed journals suggests an expectation for conducting high-level research that contributes new knowledge to the field.Research Issues: The postdoc student will be immersed in the practical application of cyber-physical systems within manufacturing facilities.
This might involve developing computational and visualization tools, designing monitoring systems using smart tools/sensors, designing and implementing the architecture for connectivity of industrial systems and products, and exploring advanced applications for additive manufacturing
