| Job Description
|
- Conduct research on the seismic behaviour and resilience of building systems and non-structural components
- Develop component-level load–deformation relationships and constitutive models to capture material nonlinearity and deterioration
- Perform nonlinear static and nonlinear time-history analyses to evaluate seismic performance
- Develop fragility curves considering material, modelling, and ground-motion uncertainties
- Quantify seismic resilience using performance, damage, and recovery metrics
- Develop performance-based seismic design recommendations and practical guidelines for target safety and resilience; and disseminate outcomes through high-quality international journals, conferences, and academic–industry collaborations.
Skills required:
- Essential:
- Strong fundamentals in structural and earthquake engineering
- Structural dynamics, seismic design, and performance-based earthquake engineering. Proficiency in nonlinear static and nonlinear time-history analysis
- Component-level load–deformation modelling, and material/structural nonlinearity.
- Hands-on experience with OpenSees, SAP2000, ETABS, or equivalent.
- Knowledge of seismic demand assessment, fragility analysis, uncertainty quantification, and resilience assessment.
- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools for numerical modelling, data analysis, and automation.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, scientific writing, communication, and independent research skills.
- Desirable:
- Experience in experimental earthquake engineering
- Structural testing, and shake-table testing. Familiarity with fibre-based modelling,
- Cyclic deterioration models, probabilistic seismic assessment
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Machine learning, and resilience-based design.
- Knowledge of international seismic codes
- Multidisciplinary collaboration
- Research proposal development, and publication in high-quality international journals.
