About this position

Université Laval's iM2S research group, led by Full Professor Luca Sorelli, is recruiting PhD students and postdoctoral scholars for research in Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and bridge infrastructure. The group focuses on three main areas: UHPC for low-carbon and circular construction, UHPC-based solutions for bridge and infrastructure strengthening, rehabilitation, and durability, and modelling of UHPC-strengthened bridges for performance assessment and infrastructure management. These topics are at the intersection of civil engineering and materials science, with a strong emphasis on sustainable construction and advanced infrastructure solutions.

Successful candidates will join a dynamic team at Université Laval in Canada, working on cutting-edge research projects funded by FRQNT grants and Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards. These funding sources are highly competitive and provide attractive compensation for both PhD students and postdoctoral scholars. The research environment offers opportunities for collaboration, publication, and professional development in the fields of civil engineering and materials science.

Applicants should have a strong academic background in civil engineering, materials science, or closely related disciplines. For PhD positions, a master's degree is generally required, while postdoctoral applicants must hold a PhD. Research experience and a record of publication are preferred. Interested candidates should send their CV and one representative journal publication to [email protected] to express their interest in joining the group.

This opportunity is ideal for those passionate about sustainable infrastructure, advanced concrete technologies, and the future of bridge engineering. The application process is straightforward, and selected candidates will benefit from a supportive research environment and competitive funding.

Funding details

PhD students and postdoctoral scholars will be funded through FRQNT grants or Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards, which are highly competitive and offer attractive compensation.

What's required

Applicants should have a relevant background in civil engineering, materials science, or related fields. For PhD positions, a master's degree is typically required; for postdoctoral positions, a PhD is required. Candidates should demonstrate research experience, preferably with publications. Applicants are asked to send a CV and one representative journal publication.
