About this position

George Washington University and NIST are seeking a Post-Doctoral Research Associate for research on wind performance and roofing resilience in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The project is tied to the Hurricane Ian Study and focuses on understanding how asphalt shingle roof coverings fail under extreme wind hazards.

The research combines civil engineering, materials science, mechanical testing, fracture mechanics, and finite element analysis. The successful candidate will investigate the effects of weathering, installation, and material properties on wind uplift resistance; develop validated FEA models using Ansys LS-DYNA and Abaqus/Explicit; create accelerated aging methods for roofing materials; and help translate findings into standards and building code improvements through ASTM and related committees.

Eligibility highlights include a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or Chemistry. Preferred and required technical experience includes EIT certification (preferred), strong software skills in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, at least 5+ years with universal testing machines, and at least 1 year with FTIR spectroscopy and accelerated weathering devices. A deep understanding of ASTM D3161 and ASTM D7158 is required, and ASTM membership is also required.

This is a research-intensive postdoctoral opening with direct impact on coastal infrastructure resilience, roofing standards, and U.S. building codes. The post does not mention a deadline or funding package, but it does provide an application link.
