Description

Salary:
£36,024 - £44,263 per annum


FTE: 1.0


Term:
Fixed for 9.5 months to 4 February 2025


Closing Date:31 March 2024


The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Strathclyde is seeking to recruit a talented researcher for a 9.5-month Research Associate position to work on a project led by Dr Stephen Suryasentana from University of Strathclyde, in collaboration with Dr Zhang Wangcheng from Durham University.


The aim of the project is to identify the key flow and soil deformation processes that occur during pressure cycling installations of suction caisson foundations, and develop new analytical models to predict these processes.

The post holder will carry out large deformation finite element modelling to investigate the effect of different pressure cycling strategies on the flow and soil deformation behaviour during suction caisson installation.

The post holder will design and validate their models using available field data.


Additionally, the post holder will contribute to the development of new analytical models based on insights from the finite element modelling.

The post holder is expected to write up research work for publication, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminate the results via peer reviewed journal publications.

The post holder will also have opportunities to provide supervision and guidance on related PhD student projects.
