A new fully funded PhDposition has opened at the University of Auckland in New Zealand for a potential candidate with experience in concrete structures and seismic/earthquake engineering. The supervision team consists of me Dr Enrique del Rey Castillo, Dr Lucas Hogan,

Dr Max Stephens and Dr Tom Allen, as well as a large team of industry advisors. The topic of the research project will be #seismic strengthening of concrete floor diaphragms with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (#FRP), and it’s likely to be mostly analytical/modelling.

This work will be part of a larger project, involving two other PhD candidates, with a lot of experimental work already underway. The potential candidate’s job will be to translate the experimental work into structural behaviour and global response, aimed at developing a design

guide for engineers to use (both in New Zealand and overseas). 
 
Interested candidates, please send Enrique ([e-mail]) a CV (up to 5 pages) and a brief cover letter (up to half page) summarising the relevant experience, and ambitions for the future.

Please, be 100% certain that you comply with the University’s requirements for PhD admission, which can be found here (lnkd.in/gVtekv5k). We need the student to start asap, ideally in early 2023, so please send the documentation before 15th of November.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you need a few more days to submit the documents.
