About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program, is seeking a Senior Research Fellow (or Faculty Member) with a strong background in structural engineering and software development. This high-level postdoctoral opportunity focuses on leading the expansion of the Nonstructural Element Database (NED), a project aimed at refactoring and expanding the FEMA P-58 standard for seismic risk assessment.

The successful candidate will design scalable database architecture to integrate consequence models, direct both back-end (Python/Django) and front-end development, and advance performance-based hazard assessments by linking fragility data to real-world outcomes. The role involves close collaboration with NIST researchers and external contractors to deploy this industry-standard tool.

Key research areas include structural engineering, database architecture, software development, seismic risk, probabilistic risk assessment, and uncertainty quantification. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Civil or Structural Engineering, have at least 7 years of software development experience (Python, SQL, Django, Git), and possess deep familiarity with the FEMA P-58 framework. U.S. citizenship is preferred.

This position offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and software, contributing to a major national initiative in seismic risk and resilience. Interested candidates should apply via the provided link and ensure they meet all qualifications before submitting their application.
