Position Details:
- A Ph.D. student is sought for a position in Structural Engineering to work under the advisement of Dr. Andre Barbosa at Oregon State University.
- Research focus: Infrastructure systems subjected to natural hazards, including seismic and tsunami effects on coastal built infrastructure (buildings, bridges, and ports) with a special emphasis on soil-fluid-structure dynamic interactions.
- Qualifications: Candidates should have an undergraduate or a Master's degree (preferred) with a focus on Structural Engineering or a related field. Strong background in seismic and tsunami performance of structures, high-fidelity finite element modeling, and/or probabilistic risk assessment is desirable.
- Preferred experience: Proficiency in OpenSees or other high-fidelity finite element software, fluid-structure interaction modeling, and coding in Python and/or MATLAB.
- Appointment: The position is expected to start on September 16, 2023, pending admission to the graduate program in Civil Engineering at Oregon State University.
Application Details:
- Interested candidates should contact Dr. Andre Barbosa (andre.barbosa@oregonstate.edu) with the subject heading "Cascading Structural Analysis Ph.D. Application."
- Required documents: CV, a sample of a previous publication, and contact information for at least two references.
- Additional information may be requested during the review process.
Additional Information:
- Visit Dr. Barbosa's webpage (https://cce.oregonstate.edu/barbosa) for more information about the research group.
- Oregon State University (OSU) is a leading institution with a world-class faculty in various fields of Civil Engineering, including Structural, Materials, Coastal, Geomatics, and Transportation.
- Corvallis, where OSU is located, has been ranked as the 5th best college town in the US and named the best city to live in Oregon by the US Chamber of Commerce. It offers proximity to the ocean and mountains for outdoor activities and a supportive, inclusive community, ensuring an excellent work-life balance.
Thank you for your interest in joining our research group. We look forward to receiving your application.
