[USA] PhD Assistantships in Structural, Geotechnical, and Transportation Engineering
Ph.D. Research Assistantships Available in Structural, Geotechnical, and Transportation Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute invites applications for multiple assistantships at the Ph.D. level. Assistantships are available in each of the areas of structural, geotechnical, and transportation engineering and provide full financial support (tuition and stipend).
Highly motivated individuals with an earned master’s degree and strong academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The general field of research for the assistantships in structural engineering is behavior and performance of structures subjected to natural and man-made hazards. The research projects will involve experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to model and predict the behavior of structures under extreme loading conditions such as blasts, missile penetration, earthquake, and fire. In addition, innovative approaches to protection of structures subjected to such hazards will be investigated. Research in the field of structural earthquake engineering is conducted as part of the School of Engineering Center for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (CEES).
There are two main research fields for the assistantships in geotechnical engineering. The first is behavior and performance of soil, foundation and soil-structure systems subjected to earthquakes, with emphasis on use of advanced research tools ranging from dynamic centrifuge physical modeling to advanced field sensors and complex continuous and discrete computer simulations. This research in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering is conducted as part of the School of Engineering Center for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (CEES).
The second field is geoenvironmental engineering. In transportation engineering, students with an interest and background in transportation systems modeling will be strongly considered. Specifically, the research projects relate to transportation network modeling, freight transportation modeling, transportation logistics, transportation economics, large scale optimization of transportation networks, information technologies for decision making, and transportation modeling of extreme events.
In addition, it is expected that students will have a background in mathematical optimization and computational programming. Successful students will have the opportunity to work with world class faculty and facilities such as the Center for Intermodal Freight Mobility and Security and the Center for Transportation and Infrastructure Studies.
The expected start date for all positions is spring semester 2006 but applications will be accepted until the positions have been filled. Applications should be submitted on-line to Rensselaer Graduate Admissions (http://gradadmissions.rpi.edu/). Within their application, applicants should indicate clearly indicate their area of interest (structural, geotechnical, or transportation) and describe their relevant backgrounds.
Any questions related to these positions should be directed to Professor Michael Symans (symans@rpi.edu) (structural engineering), Professor Ricardo Dobry (dobryr@rpi.edu) (geotechnical engineering), or Professor Jose Holguin-Veras (jhv@rpi.edu) (transportation engineering).
