"Research Fellow (Asphalt Pavement Materials and Modelling)"

Job Description

The National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for one (1) Research Fellow position in the area of resilient asphalt pavement materials and modelling with focus on new materials, modelling and design. The candidate is expected to work in research projects related to the topic funded by the National Research Foundation of Singapore and Land Transport Authority of Singapore, and the Defence Science and Technology Agency of Singapore. The candidate will be working with Associate Professor Ong Ghim Ping Raymond from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Design and Engineering (CDE) in fundamental and translational research in the development of new asphalt pavement design guidelines.

The selected individual is required to:

• Perform laboratory and field experiments on asphalt pavements functional and environmental performance as core focus.
• Work on mechanistic empirical pavement design and balanced mix design standard development.
• Model pavement behaviours using analytical and numerical methods with the end goal in modification of mechanistic empirical pavement design and balanced mix design to suit local context.
• Develop state of the art solutions for high performance pavement system and work closely with contractors and agencies on field construction implementation to ensure solution is commercially viable.
• Manage research project progress, grant administration, and finance.
• Work on other relevant tasks set out by the project PI.

The candidate should also possess good communication and team working skills and has the ability to present research findings in publications and professional meetings (including with agencies and the industry).

To apply, please furnish the following documents:

• Cover letter
