Post-Doctoral Associate in the Center for Smart Engineering Materials

Description:

The Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM), New York University Abu Dhabi,seeks to recruit a post-doctoral associate to work on the development, characterization, and applications of novel self- sensing concrete with a dual capability of self healing through the integration of smart technologies.

The successful applicant will work on four main areas leading to the success of this fascinating project:
 

• To design and assess the performance of self-sensing cementitious materials endowed with high sensitivity, resistance to temperature, and durability under the highly basic environment of concrete.
• To develop structural-health-monitoring networks specifically directed toward the oil and gas industry.
• To develop novel self-healing cementitious materials through chemical and/or bio-mineralization.
• To synthesize the findings to formulate and assess the performance of self-sensing and self-healing cementitious composites.
• The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of Research scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students.
