About this position

McMaster University’s Department of Civil Engineering is offering two fully funded PhD scholarships focused on the optimization of electric mobility solutions, with a particular emphasis on zero-emission buses for transit applications. The successful candidates will join the research group of Associate Professor Moataz Mohamed, Director of the McMaster Institute for Transportation & Logistics (MITL), and will contribute to cutting-edge projects in sustainable transit and energy management.

The research areas include system-level analysis of electric mobility solutions, mathematical modeling of system components, vehicle routing algorithms, integration of renewable energy resources, and quantification of environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions. Candidates will also be involved in preparing manuscripts and presenting at conferences.

Applicants should have a strong background in Civil Engineering, Operations Research, Engineering Mathematics, or related fields, and must be proficient in at least one programming language (Python, MATLAB, R, C++, or Java), with Python experience especially valued. Experience with multi-vehicle routing and optimization modeling is essential. The position is fully funded, covering tuition and providing a stipend, and is open to both domestic and international students. The start date is flexible, with options for September 2026 or January 2027. Application review begins immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.

To apply, candidates should submit a single PDF containing a resume, academic transcripts (unofficial accepted), and a statement of research interest to the provided email address. More information about the research and the application process can be found on the McMaster Civil Engineering website and Dr. Mohamed’s academic profiles. McMaster University is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and encourages applications from underrepresented groups.
