About this position

Université du Luxembourg is advertising a PhD / doctoral researcher position in Reuse of Prestressed Concrete Infrastructure at Belval Campus, Luxembourg.

The project aims to develop the first assessment method for evaluating the reusing potential of concrete infrastructures. Research tasks include a laboratory campaign on full-scale reused prestressed concrete elements, development of non-destructive testing methods, and evaluation of life-cycle gains. The work is part of a multidisciplinary Horizon Europe project on sustainable civil infrastructure with public and private partners across Europe.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in civil engineering, concrete structures, materials science, structural behavior, non-destructive testing, life-cycle assessment, and sustainable infrastructure reuse. The university highlights an open, interdisciplinary profile and encourages applicants who may only partially meet the background criteria but are eager to learn across disciplines.

Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree or equivalent in civil engineering or a related area; strong understanding of concrete structural behavior and material properties; modelling experience in civil structures; knowledge of concrete reuse is a plus; B2-level proficiency in the language of the thesis; curiosity, teamwork, critical thinking, and research ethics.

Funding: fixed-term full-time doctoral contract for 36 months, with a yearly gross salary of EUR 43,445.

How to apply: submit the required documents online via the HR system: CV, cover letter, transcript of university-level courses, PDF of Master’s thesis, and publications/work samples if available. Applications are reviewed upon receipt, so early application is encouraged. Email applications will not be considered.
