MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity 2026 in Structural Engineering & Geotechnical Engineering University of Dundee in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at Abertay University in collaboration with the University of Dundee on the thermomechanical behaviour of energy piles under complex loading conditions . The project sits at the intersection of civil engineering , geotechnical engineering , environmental science , and shallow geothermal energy , with a strong focus on energy geostructures , ground source heat pumps , and low-carbon heating for net-zero infrastructure. The research aims to understand and measure the thermomecha...

PhD in Railway Circular Economy at the University of Leeds (School of Civil Engineering). This PhD project explores sustainable solutions for railway track infrastructure through the principles of a circular economy. The research focuses on the scalable reprocessing of ballast, sleepers, rails, and other track components to convert network waste into high-quality secondary commercial materials. Possible research directions include: scalable reprocessing for spent railway ballast; structural perf...
