Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on the seismic behaviour and resilience of building systems and non-structural components
• Develop component-level load-deformation relationships and constitutive models to capture material nonlinearity and deterioration
• Perform nonlinear static and nonlinear time-history analyses to evaluate seismic performance
• Develop fragility curves considering material, modelling, and ground-motion uncertainties
• Quantify seismic resilience using performance, damage, and recovery metrics
• Develop performance-based seismic design recommendations and practical guidelines for target safety and resilience; and disseminate outcomes through high-quality international journals, conferences, and academic-industry collaborations.

Skills

• Essential:
  • Strong fundamentals in structural and earthquake engineering
  • Structural dynamics, seismic design, and performance-based earthquake engineering. Proficiency in nonlinear static and nonlinear time-history analysis
  • Component-level load-deformation modelling, and material/structural nonlinearity.
  • Hands-on experience with OpenSees, SAP2000, ETABS, or equivalent.
  • Knowledge of seismic demand assessment, fragility analysis, uncertainty quantification, and resilience assessment.
  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools for numerical modelling, data analysis, and automation.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, scientific writing, communication, and independent research skills.
• Desirable:
  • Experience in experimental earthquake engineering
  • Structural testing, and shake-table testing. Familiarity with fibre-based modelling
  • Cyclic deterioration models, probabilistic seismic assessment
  • Monte Carlo simulation
  • Machine learning, and resilience-based design.
  • Knowledge of international seismic codes
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration
  • Research proposal development, and publication in high-quality international journals.
