Project Description:
Parametric Analysis of the Behavior of Normal Strength and Ultra High Performance Concrete under High Frequency Direct Shear Loading
The Idaho State University (ISU) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in structural engineering. The position is for two years with the possibility of a third year. The successful candidate will carry out research in the area of material characterization of cementitious materials under high strain rate loading using physical testing and numerical modelling.
Funding for this research is provided through the prestigious Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship program which was established in 2000 to fund basic research in areas of interest to the Intelligence Community. This unique program pairs postdoctoral fellows with principal investigators at universities and an intelligence community advisor. Fellows in this program are expected to attend an annual colloquium in Washington D.C. to share their research results with members of the IC. This program requires postdocs to be U.S. citizens capable of passing a background check.
Idaho State University, a Carnegie-classified doctoral research institution founded in 1901, educates approximately 13,000 students per year in more than 280 programs. It is Idaho's lead institution in health professions and medical education. Its seven colleges engage in a broad range of innovative research, teaching, and learning in the natural and physical sciences, humanities, performing and visual arts, education, engineering, business, pharmacy, and technology. ISU is located in Pocatello, Idaho approximately 150 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah. Pocatello is located in the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains and has nearby access to year round recreational opportunities including two National Parks less than three hours away. ISU also houses the Stephens Performing Arts Center, a state of the art venue that provides numerous cultural offerings throughout the year. For more information about ISU please visit www.isu.edu.
The compensation for this position includes an extremely competitive salary and full benefits (including health insurance and retirement plan). Travelling funds have also been allocated for the postdoc to present at national conferences. To apply for this position, please upload your letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and a writing sample at: https://isujobs.net/applicants/jsp/shared/search/SearchResults_css.jsp.
Requirements:
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or have successfully defended their dissertation prior to start date) with a background in structural engineering, structural material characterization and testing, and numerical modelling. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research under minimal supervision, disseminate research results through peer reviewed journals and conferences, and mentor graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
If you are interested in joining this research project as a Postdoctoral Fellow, please contact:
Professor Andrew D. Sorensen, Ph.D. at soreandr@isu.edu. Applications will be reviewed as they are received and the position is available to start immediately. U.S. citizenship and a pre-employment background check are required for this position.
