About this position

Postdoctoral Scholar in Concrete Durability and Sensing at Penn State University (University Park / State College, Pennsylvania, United States).

Dr. Farshad Rajabipour’s research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is recruiting two postdoctoral scholars. One project focuses on developing and deploying a pore solution resistivity/pH sensor for assessing concrete quality and durability. The second focuses on prediction and mitigation of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete.

The group’s broader research spans concrete durability, concrete decarbonization, utilization of marginal and nonconventional pozzolans, service-life extension of concrete infrastructure, biochar-augmented concrete, and ultra-high-performance concrete. The selected candidates will join a highly collaborative environment with access to CEE’s Materials Innovation Studio, the Civil Infrastructure Testing and Evaluation Lab, the Additive Construction Lab, and the Materials Research Institute.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field; extensive research experience in concrete materials and characterization; strong publication record; strong communication and interpersonal skills. Teaching opportunities may be available depending on interest.

Funding / appointment: This is a full-time term postdoctoral position. The posting notes that continuation beyond the term depends on university need, performance, and/or availability of funding. Competitive benefits are available for full-time employees; no stipend amount is listed.

How to apply: Submit one PDF (max 5MB) containing a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three professional references. External applicants should apply through the Workday posting; current Penn State employees and students must use the internal Workday process. Review begins immediately and continues until the position is filled.
