PhD Researcher in Carbon Negative Building Materials

2 months ago


Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada University of British Columbia Full time
Job Description

Research Opportunity

The University of British Columbia invites applications for a PhD position in the Sustainable Engineered Structural Solutions Laboratory (SESS-Lab) Group. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to pursue a Ph.D. in carbon-negative building materials for automated construction.

Research Focus

The successful candidate will contribute to the development of long-term carbon storage building materials in both structural and non-structural applications using renewable carbon. The research will focus on converting plant biomass residues into large interlocking "bio-blocks," featuring quick assembly and load-bearing capacity under in- and out-of-plane loads.

Research Objectives

  • Develop modular bio-blocks for fast stacking using automated robotic bricklayer technology
  • Optimize bio-block design for high load-bearing and hygrothermal performance capacity
  • Conduct numerical and experimental research to determine mechanical parameters

Qualifications

Applicants should hold an M.Sc., M.A.Sc., M.Eng., or equivalent degree. A solid background in solid mechanics and/or structural analysis, and outstanding knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA), data processing, and testing methods are required. Programming skills in C++/Python or other languages, and experience with application programming interface coding are essential.

Benefits

The selected candidate will receive a four-year scholarship with a minimum Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) package of $28,000/year 12-month-based stipend, plus top-up amount based on previous qualifications. Additional funding may be available through the Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) program and other awards.

Application Instructions

Interested applicants should contact Dr. Cristiano Loss with a letter of intent, a copy of their CV, and contact information of at least two referees. Use the subject "Application NSERC-Bio-Blocks-2024" when emailing. Only short-listed candidates will be contacted for interviews.
