PhD in Predictive Modelling of Reused Concrete
Advance sustainable civil engineering through doctoral research on predictive modelling of recycled concrete performance.
Best for:Best for civil engineering or materials science graduates with strong computational modelling and concrete research interests.
Overview
This doctoral position focuses on developing advanced predictive models for reused concrete to support sustainable construction practices. Hosted in France under a doctoral contract scheme, the successful candidate will conduct rigorous computational and experimental investigations into material behavior. The work involves analyzing structural durability, creating simulation models, and collaborating with academic and industry partners. Applicants are expected to demonstrate strong dedication to academic research and contribute actively to scientific publications.
What you'll do
- Conduct independent scientific research on the predictive modelling of reused concrete behavior.
- Develop, calibrate, and validate computational models to simulate material performance over time.
- Review existing scientific literature regarding sustainable construction materials and recycling methodologies.
- Prepare research findings for publication in peer-reviewed international journals and presentation at conferences.
- Collaborate with research groups and industrial partners involved in the doctoral project.
