Mequanent Mulugeta A.

University of South-Eastern Norway is advertising a PhD Research Fellow in Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Materials focused on pavement engineering , with emphasis on fatigue damage modeling , asphalt concrete , and cold climate roads . The project aims to develop a fatigue performance prediction model for the Norwegian mechanistic-empirical pavement design system. The research combines material characterisation, advanced theoretical modelling, experimental validation, and calibration to improve pavement performance prediction under varying traffic loads, material properties, and climatic conditions. The work is conducted in close cooperation with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen). This is a strong fit for candidates interested in civil engineering, infrastructure materials, road engineering, and computational/experimental research on pavement durability. The post is shared by Associate Professor Mequanent Mulugeta A. at the University of South-Eastern Norway. The announcement does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or a deadline in the post text provided; applicants should check the linked Jobbnorge advertisement for full eligibility criteria and application instructions.
