PhD student Innovativ steel structures

PhD student in the area of Innovative steel structures

The Department of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering has a position available as a PhD student in Innovative steel structures.


Steel Structure research group deals with research projects in the area of steel and composite steel-concrete structures.Stability of steel structures at room and elevated temperatures, bridges, connections, Finite Element modelling are areas where previous PhD theses were made.Almost all of our projects have been partially internationally financed.Development of new concepts for steel towers for wind turbines is an example where PhD student will be working.
Our main objective is to development sustainable construction by structural innovation.The PhD student have big opportunities to self define a way to deal with everyday tasks.They will gain experience in the international project management in addition to the research studies.The research study consists of courses at the postgraduate level, experimental work in Complab laboratory and numerical work.As a researcher you will work to prepare design recommendations for structural engineers based on Eurocodes.You will be involved in graduate studies in the area of structural engineering.Experience using software based on FE program, static and dynamic analysis are important merits.

Requirements

Your education has to be at level of Master of Science in Structural engineering or Mechanical engineering.In a case of equal qualifications we will give priority to female candidates and candidates with international experience.
