The Division of Structures and Mechanics invites applications for faculty appointments at the Assistant/Associate Professor levels in the following areas:
Candidates must have a PhD in geophysics or a related field in earth science and engineering with a proven record of excellence in research in computational seismology. The successful candidates must be capable of attracting research funding and demonstrate an ability to teach graduate level courses related to engineering seismology and/or computational seismology.
Candidates must have a PhD in structural engineering or a related field and a proven record of excellence in research. Expertise in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable: performance-based seismic design, global earthquake modeling, seismic damage and risk analyses, large-scale dynamic testing, seismic protective systems and others. The successful candidates must be capable of attracting funding in the relevant areas, and demonstrate an ability to teach graduate and undergraduate level courses in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering.
- Catastrophe Risk Modelling
Candidates must have a PhD in structural engineering or a related field and a proven record of excellence in research. Expertise in the following area is highly desirable: mathematical and probabilistic risk modeling of critical infrastructures due to both natural disasters and technical hazards. Knowledge in financial engineering for catastrophe risk financing, insurance and other management strategies would be an added advantage. Candidates with strong interdisciplinary focus are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidates must be capable of attracting research funding in the relevant areas, and demonstrate an ability to teach graduate and undergraduate level courses related to catastrophe risk modelling and analysis.
- Sustainable Building Structure System
