**Posting Details**

Position: Post-Doctoral Fellow

Area: Numerical modelling and constitutive model development of frozen soil

Timeframe: 1 years with the possibility of extension, depending on progress and funding

Start date: January 2025 (negotiable)

**Salary**: $45,000/year plus benefits

Application Deadline: Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

**Area of Research and Description of Duties**:
The design and performance control of geotechnical structures, such as highway pavements, building foundations and buried structures, in cold resign is very challenging. Numerous approaches have been developed to investigate freeze-thaw processes in soil within the framework of poromechanics. However, this area of study still poses plenty of knowledge gaps. The goal of this specific research project is to develop a theoretical framework and numerical modelling procedures to simulate the performance of buried structures in different types of permafrost (e.g., continuous, discontinuous, sporadic and isolated) by considering the coupling of various processes. In particular, the theoretical framework should be able to address the inherent heterogeneity on different scales with multiple phases of materials and different physical processes. The numerical modelling procedures will be developed to efficiently simulate the coupling of different processes involved in a freezing-thaw process and their influences on soil-structure interaction under seasonal variation of environmental conditions.

Funding is available for at least 2 years at an annual salary of $45,000 commensurate with experience, and the normal hours of work are 40 hours per week. Start date is flexible but sooner than later is preferred.

Employment as a Postdoctoral Fellow at McMaster University is covered by the terms of the CUPE Local 3906, Unit 3 Collective Agreement.

- the contact information of two referees who are familiar with your research and academic experience.
