About this position

This postdoctoral position is based in the School of Engineering and Architecture at University College Cork and is embedded in a project on the long-term service performance and safety of ageing tunnels under climate change. The research focuses on an AI-empowered digital twin framework for in-service tunnel evaluation, with particular attention to ageing tunnel infrastructure associated with CERN.

The successful researcher will contribute to field data collection, digital twin development, and modelling of hydro-induced loading states. The project aims to produce a version-controlled digital twin, ageing tunnel models, decision-support tools, and peer-reviewed publications, with the broader goal of improving the resilience and sustainability of underground infrastructure.

Dr. Zili Li is the principal investigator leading the project. The postdoc will initially work at UCC for the first eight months and will then be seconded to CERN for the following months and beyond. A second research assistant will also be based at UCC, creating a collaborative research environment spanning university and CERN-based work.

The project is framed around investigation of large-scale aging underground infrastructure using multimodal data-driven deep learning, combining civil engineering, data-driven modelling, and infrastructure assessment in an international research setting.
