Job summary

The National University of Singapore invites applications for a Research Fellow in Geotechnical Engineering within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The role focuses on advanced investigations of ground deformation and wall stability in sand-reclaimed coastal regions, employing 1-g testing, centrifuge modeling, and finite element simulations.

The successful candidate will lead tests, instrumentation, and constitutive modeling in ABAQUS/PLAXIS 3D, assess hydraulic gradient

Qualifications

PhD in Geotechnical Engineering or related field.
Experience with geotechnical centrifuge testing, physical model setup, or advanced finite element modeling (PLAXIS 3D, ABAQUS).
Strong background in soil mechanics, clay consolidation theory, elastoplastic constitutive modeling, and soil-structure interaction.
Proven publication record in top-tier journals.

Responsibilities

Plan and execute 1-g and centrifuge tests to capture deformation of sand-clay profiles.
Implement instrumentation to monitor soil and structural responses under consolidation.
Develop constitutive numerical models in ABAQUS or PLAXIS 3D using elastoplastic frameworks.
Evaluate seepage risks and wall stability for coastal reclaimed regions.
Supervise junior researchers and collaborate with partners; publish results.
