PhD opportunity at the University of Luxembourg for research on concrete reuse , structural engineering , sustainable construction , and data-driven modelling . The post advertises 3 fully funded PhD positions within the ERC-funded RESCUE project . The research aims to determine how concrete elements can be safely reused before deconstruction by combining full-scale experiments , non-destructive testing , and predictive multi-scale, multi-physics modelling . The available topics are: (1) Mechani...

The University of Luxembourg is recruiting a Doctoral researcher in Engineering Science within the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) and the ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction . The project is centered on the structural behaviour and performance of Steel-Timber Composite (STC) beams , an innovative hybrid structural system that combines steel members with cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The doctoral research aims to improve understanding of the mechanical behaviour o...
