Research Fellow - Underground Reservoir

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at NUS invites applications for a Research Fellow position in Geotechnical Engineering. The role involves leading advanced investigations into ground deformation and wall stability in coastal regions affected by seawater intrusion. The project aims to construct seepage cut-off walls to create underground reservoirs and protect reclaimed land. Responsibilities include conducting geotechnical physical modeling, implementing advanced instrumentation, and developing numerical models. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering or a related field, with experience in centrifuge testing and finite element modeling. Strong expertise in soil mechanics and a track record of high-quality research publications are required.
