Experience in structural engineering research, ideally including reinforced concrete, structural materials, durability, structural health monitoring, corrosion, experimental testing or numerical modelling.
Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills.
The ability to work independently while contributing effectively within an interdisciplinary research team.
A commitment to delivering high-quality research and developing innovative engineering solutions.

Why join us:

Experience publishing research, presenting at conferences, supervising students and working with industry partners would be advantageous.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to an exciting interdisciplinary project. You will work alongside colleagues from Chemistry and Civil Engineering, develop your research profile through publications and conference presentations, and contribute to research that supports the resilience and sustainability of future infrastructure.
