The Future-Generation of Resilient and Infrastructure Design Technology Hub (Future-GRID TecH) in the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit one motivated research scientist with at least 5 years of post-PhD experience. The candidate will work under the supervision of Future-GRID TecH director Dr. Mohamed Moustafa to carry out cutting-edge research in the broad area of structural 3D printing (metals, concrete, and composites) and advanced manufacturing. Computational mechanics and structural topology optimization Vision-based structural health monitoring Autonomous and drone-based infrastructure inspection and vibration monitoring

Qualifications:

Successful candidates must hold a PhD degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Material Engineering with at least 6 years of expereince. Other related field such as Computer Science, Nuclear Engineering, and Material Science are also welcomed.

Required qualifications include:

strong communication and presentation skills; a track record in writing and publishing peer-reviewed journal publications; and previous or relevant experience in mentoring or supervising undergraduate student research or junior graduate students. A formal training, education, or certification in a secondary area (beyond the main PhD focus) such as additive manufacturing, advanced/hybrid manufacturing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, etc. is a plus.

Other preferred qualifications include:

expertise in programming and coding (preferably using Python and C++) and GUI development; expertise in computational mechanics and finite element simulation and modeling; expertise in laboratory and multi-scale experimental testing at the material, component, and structural levels. The candidates will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists and undergraduate students, conduct high-quality "innovative and independent" experimental, analytical, and/or computational research, publish research work and results in scientific peer-reviewed journals and conferences, mentor undergraduate students, and participate in writing research grant proposals.
