Post Doctoral Scholar

Post Doctoral Scholar The Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida is inviting a motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join the DISCOVER Laboratory and become part of an interdisciplinary research team conducting research at the convergence of multiscale computational mechanics, civil infrastructure resilience and digital twin modeling. The position will require extensive collaboration across disciplines to tackle research that incorporates Engineering Mechanics, Structural Engineering, AI and Data Science. The candidate will assist the DISCOVER lab with managing existing research projects and preparing research proposals and publications in the research areas listed above. The Postdoctoral Associate will lead the development of research proposals and reports, collaborate in sponsored research projects, supervise graduate research assistants, represent the DISCOVER Lab at national and international conferences, symposia, and professional meetings through published research works and presentations. The selected candidate will have an opportunity to work in a research-oriented laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software tools, performing cutting-edge research related to digital twin modeling of large-scale infrastructure systems. The position is perfect for recently graduated post-doctorate professionals looking to grow their research records (with additional, optional opportunities to grow their teaching portfolio, according to the candidate's preference and career goals). However, other more-experienced candidates will also be given consideration.
