The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) conducts research in structural engineering, sustainable construction and infrastructure resilience. The successful candidate will join a research team working on structural fire engineering, with opportunities to contribute to experimental investigations, numerical modelling and advanced computational methods.
We are looking for a Research Associate to investigate the behaviour and performance of structures under fire conditions. The role will involve structural fire analysis, numerical simulations, experimental investigations and the exploration of AI-assisted approaches for structural fire engineering.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct research on structural behaviour and fire resistance under fire conditions.
- Develop numerical models and perform structural fire simulations using finite element software.
- Assist in planning and conducting structural fire experiments and analysing test results.
- Investigate structural performance, failure mechanisms and fire resistance through experimental and numerical studies.
- Explore AI and machine learning applications for efficient structural fire analysis.
- Prepare technical reports, research publications and presentations, and support project deliverables.
Job Requirements:
- A Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
- Good knowledge of structural mechanics, structural analysis and structural behaviour.
- Experience with finite element software such as ABAQUS, SAFIR or ANSYS would be advantageous.
- Knowledge of structural fire engineering or experimental structural testing would be an advantage.
- Programming skills in Python or MATLAB and interest in AI applications would be beneficial.
- Good analytical, problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills.
- Entry-level candidates are welcome to apply.
