Post Doctoral Fellow - Glenn Department of Civil Engineering
Clemson University: College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences: Glenn Department of Civil Engineering
Location: LOWRY HALL (000024) BLDG000024 FL01
Open Date: Sep 18, 2026
Description
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research focused on infrastructure system resilience, risk assessment, and data-driven modeling, with particular emphasis on transportation and rail infrastructure systems. The position will involve the development and application of system-level modeling and analytical approaches to evaluate infrastructure performance, vulnerability, risk, and resilience under natural hazards, climate-related stresses, and other disruptive events. The researcher will work with large and heterogeneous infrastructure, environmental, and climate datasets and develop computational and data-driven models to support resilience assessment and decision-making. The work may include the use and analysis of Global Climate Models (GCMs), statistically or dynamically downscaled climate projections, and other climate and hazard datasets to evaluate current and future risks to infrastructure systems. The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to ongoing externally funded research projects, preparation of technical reports and peer-reviewed publications, development and implementation of computational models, coordination with research collaborators and project partners, and mentoring or supporting graduate and undergraduate researchers as appropriate.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related field. The Ph.D. must be completed by the appointment start date.
- Demonstrated experience in system-level modeling and analysis of infrastructure systems, particularly in the areas of risk, resilience, vulnerability, or reliability.
- Experience with data-driven modeling and quantitative/computational research methods.
- Experience working with Global Climate Models (GCMs), downscaled GCM products, climate projections, or related climate and hazard datasets.
- Strong analytical, programming, and technical communication skills.
- Ability to conduct independent research while working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary research team.
Prior research experience involving rail or transportation infrastructure system resilience is preferred but not required.
Application Instructions
