Positions available on Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring (PhD Students)
The Historical and Masonry Structures (
HMS) group of the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (
ISISE), University of Minho, Portugal, plans to open two PhD student positions (duration of the contract planned for 3 years).
The positions will focus on (i) Seismic assessment of the out-of-plane behavior of masonry structures and (ii) Deep learning-based visual inspection systems for structural health monitoring.
(i) Seismic assessment of the out-of-plane behavior of masonry structures:
Necessary qualifications: MSc degree in Civil Engineering or Earthquake Engineering. A strong background in structural dynamics and masonry structures with a passion for numerical modelling and code-based assessment, or similar qualifications, would be considered an asset.
(ii) Deep learning-based visual inspection systems for structural health monitoring:
Necessary qualifications: MSc degree in Civil Engineering or similar. A good understanding of damage identification, artificial intelligence and computer-vision, would be considered an asset.
Students completing their MSc degree in the next months are invited to demonstrate their interest in the position.
If interested, please send your résumé with a copy of the BSc and MSc certificates to Dr. Vasco Bernardo for position (i) (
vbernardo@civil.uminho.pt) and Dr. Mayank Mishra for position (ii) (
mayank@civil.uminho.pt) until April 28th (23:59 Lisbon time / WEST). If your MSc certificate is not yet issued, please provide your current course certificate and GPA.
