About this position

Michigan Technological University is seeking a PhD student for a pavement engineering research project in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geospatial Engineering (CEGE). Professor and Chair Muhammed Emin Kutay is recruiting a student to join his research group and investigate how wide-base tires affect pavement performance.

The project is funded by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and focuses on the interaction between tire configurations and pavement systems. The student will contribute to pavement structural analysis and design, examining pavement response and performance through advanced engineering approaches.

The research environment is suited to students interested in mechanistic-empirical pavement design, layered elastic analysis, finite element modeling, and computational methods. Python may support data analysis, modeling, and research workflow development. The position offers an opportunity to work on an applied transportation infrastructure problem with relevance to pavement design and evaluation.

The student will join Professor Kutay’s group within CEGE and develop research experience at the intersection of pavement engineering, structural analysis, tire–pavement interaction, and transportation infrastructure performance.

Funding details

The position is fully funded and includes tuition coverage and a stipend. The project is funded by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).

What's required

Applicants should hold an MS in Civil Engineering or a related field. A strong background in pavement structural analysis and design is required. Experience with mechanistic-empirical design, layered elastic analysis, or finite element modeling is advantageous, as is experience with Python. Good writing and communication skills are also expected.

How to apply

Complete the short pre-screening form using the provided link. Upload one PDF containing a cover letter, CV, and unofficial transcripts, named LastName_FirstName.pdf. This is a pre-screening submission, not the official CEGE PhD application; selected candidates will later apply formally through the Michigan Tech Graduate School. Do not send applications by email.
