Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of Engineering (Civil & Urban Engineering) & Center for Sand Hazards and Opportunities in Resilience, Energy, and Sustainability (SHORES) - Dr. Mohamed Moustafa
The Center for Sand Hazards and Opportunities in Resilience, Energy, and Sustainability (SHORES)and the Division of Engineering, New York University Abu Dhabi, seek to recruit one or more motivated post doctoral associates to work on cutting-edge research in the area of resilient concrete structures. Particular areas of interest include: + UHPC mix development, material characterization, structural design, and precast applications. + Structural 3D printing (metals, concrete, and composites) at multiple scales. + Soil-structure interaction and resilient foundation systems. + Small-scale structural centrifuge testing and physical modeling. + Advanced instrumentation and experimental simulation. Successful candidates must hold a PhD degree in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, or Material Engineering. Other related field such as Nuclear Engineering, Material Science, etc. are also welcomed. Required qualifications include: strong communication and presentation skills; a track record in writing and publishing peer-reviewed journal publications; and previous or relevant experience in mentoring or supervising undergraduate student research or junior graduate students. A formal training, education, or certification in a secondary area (beyond the main PhD focus) such as additive manufacturing, 3D concrete printing, soil-structure interaction, centrifuge testing, etc. is a plus. Other preferred qualifications include: expertise in laboratory and multi-scale experimental testing (at material, component, and structural level), 3D printing and physical modeling for structural and geotechnical application, programming and coding (preferably using Python and C++) along with GUI and simple computational tool development. The candidates will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists and undergraduate students, conduct high-quality “innovative and independent” experimental, analytical, and/or computational research, publish research work and results in scientific peer-reviewed journals and conferences, mentor undergraduate students, and participate in writing research grant proposals. To be considered, all applicants must submit the following documents in PDF format via Interfolio: + Cover letter. + Curriculum vitae with full publication list. + Statement of research interests and plan. + Three sample (recent and/or most relevant) journal publications. + Contact details of two references. + Transcript The terms of employment include a highly competitive salary, medical insurance, housing allowance, annual home-leave travel, and educational subsidies for children (if applicable). Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the positions are filled.
