Post-Doctoral Fellow Concrete Technology

Job Description

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) invites applications for a post-doctoral fellow position starting April 2024 to work on a research project in sustainable concrete technology. The candidate will collaborate with faculty investigators in advanced research areas, including: 1- Using Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) to enhance recycled concrete durability and sustainability. 2- Material characterization and microstructure analysis of innovative concrete materials. 3- Optimized mixture proportioning for sustainable and high-performance concrete. 4- Experimental performance evaluation of concrete structures under environmental and mechanical loading. 5- Life cycle assessment (LCA) integration in sustainable concrete solutions. Suitable candidates MUST have: 1. A PhD in civil engineering. 2. Have documented evidence (thesis, journal articles, etc.) of relevant experience in the field of concrete technology (material characterization, mixture proportioning, performance, and microstructure characterization) and MICP.

Minimum Qualification

A PhD degree in Civil Engineering with a focus on MICP and concrete technology or sustainable construction materials. Candidates with a Master’s degree and a strong track record of publishing in high-impact journals are welcome to apply.

Preferred Qualification

Demonstrated expertise in Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) for concrete applications, including experimental implementation and performance analysis. Proven experience in: 1- Developing and characterizing sustainable concrete materials. 2- Conducting advanced microstructural analysis using imaging and spectroscopy techniques. 3- Performing experimental tests on concrete properties and durability.

Special Instructions to Applicant

• A detailed CV emphasizing research experience in concrete and MICP.2- Official transcripts for all degrees.3- Samples of high-impact publications
