Post-Doctoral Scholar Position in Nuclear RC Structural Testing and Modeling at the University of Notre Dame
Limited Term Position
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate to work on a two-year research project funded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the University of Notre Dame. The project is entitled "Lapped Connections for Accelerated Modularized Construction of Safety-Related, Non-Containment Reinforced Concrete Nuclear Buildings" and is conducted in collaboration with the Notre Dame Center for Sustainable Energy and New Mexico State University. Key responsibilities of the post-doctoral research position include leading the experimental tasks involving the design, construction, and testing of modular nuclear RC beam and wall test specimens and accompanying numerical modeling/analysis tasks. The post-doctoral scholar will also publish technical articles in reputed journals and make presentations. The expectation is that the post-doc will commit to full-time work on the project throughout the two-year project duration.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in civil engineering with demonstrated high-quality research on concrete structures and large-scale laboratory structural testing, and the ability and motivation to participate in collaborative efforts with other researchers as well as industry professionals. Inquiries and applications should be submitted via email to the project PI, Prof. Yahya Kurama at . Applications should be submitted as a single PDF with cover letter, detailed CV, statement of research interests, and names and contact information for three references.
