PhD in Quantum-Integrated Computational Mechanics for Civil Engineering and Seismic Analysis University of Trento in Italy

PhD opportunity in Quantum-Integrated Multi-Physics Soil-Structure Interaction Framework for Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Large-Scale Civil Engineering Structures at the University of Trento.

The project is hosted by a research group working on Quantum-Integrated Computational Mechanics for Civil Engineering Problems. The selected PhD candidate will help develop a novel quantum-based framework for territorial multi-physics simulations of civil engineering structures exposed to natural hazards. A flagship application is the high-fidelity seismic evaluation of CERN strategic underground infrastructure, in collaboration with CERN (Switzerland) and international partners.

This is a strongly interdisciplinary opportunity spanning civil engineering, structural dynamics, soil-structure interaction, nonlinear analysis, computational mechanics, and quantum-enabled simulation. It is suitable for candidates interested in advanced modeling of large-scale infrastructure, seismic risk, and multi-physics methods.

Eligibility is described only in general terms in the post: the group is seeking highly motivated candidates. No funding amount, tuition details, or scholarship name are specified in the post text.

Applications must be submitted exclusively through the official application portal. The deadline given in the post is August 24 at 16:00 Italy local time. For full details, consult the dedicated call webpage and the attached flyer, and contact the announcer by email for questions.
