About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Structural Engineering at Universitat de les Illes Balears

The ConStruct UIB team at the Universitat de les Illes Balears is hiring a postdoctoral researcher for a two-year project in structural engineering. The position is part of the ASCEND Project (Assessment and Fe-SMA Strengthening of Concrete Infrastructures with Corroded Flexural and Shear Reinforcements under Climate Challenges).

The research focuses on the structural behaviour of corroded reinforced concrete structures, with a special opportunity to study eight full-scale slab-type dock elements removed from a marina after decades in a highly aggressive marine environment. This makes the role especially relevant for candidates interested in civil engineering, reinforced concrete, corrosion, durability, structural assessment, experimental mechanics, and finite element modelling.

Planned tasks include designing and conducting an experimental campaign on specimens governed by flexural and shear failure, finite element modelling using ATENA, material characterization with detailed reinforcement corrosion assessment, analysis and interpretation of results, and publication in leading international journals and conferences. The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to related ongoing work on accelerated corrosion in newly constructed RC beams and innovative strengthening solutions.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a recent PhD in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field, and should have strong interest in experimental and numerical research. Experience with reinforced concrete structures is preferred, especially in durability, corrosion, or structural assessment.

Application details are provided through the linked post and the official UIB notice. No deadline, salary, or funding amount is stated in the post.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
