Post-Doctoral Associate in the Center for Smart Engineering Materials - Dr. Kemal Celik
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:
- To design and assess the performance of self-sensing cementitious materials with high sensitivity, resistance to temperature, and durability in concrete environments.
- To develop structural-health-monitoring networks for the oil and gas industry.
- To develop novel self-healing cementitious materials through chemical and/or bio-mineralization.
- To synthesize findings to formulate and assess self-sensing and self-healing cementitious composites.
The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment with research scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students.
Applicants should have experience in developing and characterizing sensors, structural health monitoring systems, and self-healing construction materials. Proficiency in characterizing construction materials, electrical resistivity measurements, and advanced data analysis (e.g., using Matlab or Python) is required. Experience with large-scale concrete testing, modeling, and simulation (e.g., COMSOL, Abaqus) is a plus. Familiarity with AC impedance spectroscopy, electro-mechanical impedance, wave propagation, and vibro-acoustics is beneficial.
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields. Candidates with strong interpersonal, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills are preferred.
The terms of employment are competitive, including housing and educational subsidies. Applications are accepted immediately until the position is filled. To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript, a one-page research summary, and at least 3 letters of recommendation in PDF format. For questions, email Dr. Kemal Celik.
