Job Description

The National University of Singapore (NUS) invites applications for a postdoctoral Research Fellow position under the supervision of Asst Prof Meng Xin from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The successful applicant will lead the design and verification of a novel modular long-span structural system and contribute to constructional metal 3D printing research in the later stage of the project.

The Research Fellow is expected to:
•    Propose conceptual structural systems for modular long-span transfer slab/truss assemblies.
•    Analyse structural performance under static loading, vibration, and elevated temperatures.
•    Assess productivity, constructability, and carbon footprint of novel structural system.
•    Finite element analysis of composite structural systems and joints.
•    Contribute to metal 3D printing research and its effective use in construction.

Job Requirements

Essential:
•    Possess a PhD in Civil and Structural Engineering.
•    A strong portfolio of research and publications related to structural engineering, especially on structural system analysis and finite element modelling.
•    Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Desired:
•    Practical experience in structural design and construction industry
•    Building information modelling
