About this position
The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Community Resilience Group, is seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Fellow to join the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This postdoctoral opportunity focuses on advancing Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Uncertainty Quantification for forward-looking building standards, particularly in the context of natural hazards such as wind, floods, and tornadoes.
The research will address the limitations of current building codes, which often do not account for the changing frequency of natural hazards. With new standards like ASCE 7-28 introducing chapters to address these challenges, the project aims to integrate natural hazard impacts—especially seismic risks—into the LCA framework. Key responsibilities include quantifying uncertainties related to future hazard changes using non-stationary reliability methods, conducting Life Cycle Assessments for reinforced concrete buildings, and evaluating design trade-offs across the building life cycle to support multi-objective performance targets.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (structural focus preferred) and possess extensive experience in Building LCA, Risk Assessment, and Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering. Additional expertise in Benefit-Cost Analysis and Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is required. U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position.
This is an excellent opportunity for structural engineering researchers interested in shaping the future of resilient building standards. The position is based at The George Washington University and is part of the NIST PREP program. For more information and to apply, please visit the application link provided.
