The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking a full-time engineer or scientist to participate with the Battlespace Acoustics Branch in Wright-Patterson Air  Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The internship will last for one year beginning Fall 2018. In the Battlespace Acoustics Branch, the successful applicant will assist with
measurement, evaluation, and advanced research of defense-related noise topics such
as aircraft noise, impulsive weaponry, hearing protection, structural acoustics, and
communications. Please contact Dr. Alan Wall for more details.

The Applied Research Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University is looking to fill two acoustics engineering positions in their structural acoustics research faculty and in their flow acoustics research faculty. Follow the links to inquire.

Has the tenure process ever seemed enigmatic or mysterious? Then join us this Friday when our very own Dr. Wilson will be talking about what goes into getting tenure from post-doc to full professor.

There will not be a scheduled meeting on Friday, 4 May. Our final meeting for the semester will be officer elections which will take place on Friday, 27 April. Meetings will resume with the Fall 2018 semester.

Presenter: Colby Cushing

Do you ever need to run a careful experiment but it takes too long or you need to continually move your transducers and don’t want to recalibrate your position every time? Build a robot to do it for you! Come learn how this Friday as Colby gives us a brief introduction to automated testing in the lab.

We will also spend a few minutes at the start of the hour discussing courses available this fall that are relevant to acoustics students.

The Acoustical AMA series allows current students to meet with acoustical professionals in an informal setting and pick their brains concerning all things acoustics and related career paths. This week we will be talking with UT Acoustics alum Dan Hemme. Dan has worked in acoustic consulting in Austin at BAi, LLC for years and is a great resource for current students.

Friday, March 30 at 2:45 PM in ETC 4.150

Join us for a short meeting this week where we will discuss the plan for the last month of the year, upcoming elections, and the three-minute ASA talk competition. Please note, the seminar is from 1:30–2:30 PM this week so I will be starting our meeting a little earlier than usual.

Quantifying Uncertainty in Experimental Measurements
Presenter: Randy Williams
Friday, March 23 at 3 PM in ETC 4.150

No matter the measurement, there is always uncertainty. But by understanding the sources of uncertainty, how they affect each other, and how to quantify them you can make much stronger claims from your measurement (and maybe even convince other scientists as well!) Come hear Randy give us an introduction into the world of uncertainty quantification in this week’s Grad Skills Seminar.
