This four-year 1+3 MRes/PhD studentship will investigate rainfall-induced slope failure risk across Great Britain's railway infrastructure, in collaboration with Network Rail and the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering. The research will examine why clusters of embankment and cutting failures occur around the rail network. Using Network Rail's extensive databases on asset condition and performance, the project will analyze the roles of local geology, hydrogeological conditions, n...

About this position

Memorial University’s Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, is recruiting one potentially two Master’s students, one potentially two PhD students, and one postdoctoral fellow to join a new research group in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Anticipated start dates are January, May, or September 2027.

The research focuses on improving community resilience and reducing risks to buried infrastructure from natural hazards. Projects investigate interactions between natural hazards and infrastructure while integrating sustainable, transdisciplinary, and community-led solutions. Students and the postdoctoral fellow will work closely with industry partners.

Research interests may include geotechnical engineering, soil-structure interaction, finite element analysis, coupled computational fluid dynamics–finite element modelling, GIS, centrifuge modelling and physical testing, buried infrastructure resilience, and engineering responses to natural hazards. Relevant tools include Abaqus, Python, ArcGIS, and PLAXIS.

Applicants should demonstrate a strong foundation in solid and soil mechanics, critical thinking, programming, and academic writing. A bachelor’s degree is expected for Master’s applicants, a master’s degree for PhD applicants, and a PhD for postdoctoral applicants, preferably in civil engineering or a closely related field. A minimum CGPA of 3.5 or equivalent, or ranking in the top 20% of the graduating class, is desired.

To apply, email an academic CV and transcript to Prof. Kshama Roy at [email protected], using the subject line “[Masters/PhD/Postdoc (choose one)] Student Application – [Your Full Name].” Applications remain open until filled, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

What's required

Applicants should be passionate about making a positive impact through civil engineering research; understand solid mechanics and soil mechanics; and have critical-thinking, programming, and writing skills. Desired qualifications include a bachelor's degree for Master's applicants, a master's degree for PhD applicants, or a PhD for postdoctoral applicants in civil engineering or a closely related field. Applicants should have a minimum CGPA of 3.5 or equivalent in the relevant bachelor's and/or master's programme, or rank in the top 20% of their graduating class. Experience or strong interest in finite element analysis, geotechnical engineering, soil-structure interaction, natural hazards, coupled CFD-FE modelling, GIS, centrifuge modelling/physical testing, or integration of engineering and community-led solutions is welcomed. Familiarity with Abaqus, Python, ArcGIS, and PLAXIS, or willingness to learn them, is desirable.

How to apply

Email your academic CV and transcript to Prof. Kshama Roy at [email protected]. Use the subject line “[Masters/PhD/Postdoc (choose one)] Student Application – [Your Full Name].” Positions remain open until filled.
