PhD in Applications of Non-destructive Testing Methods in Civil and Structural Engineering Infrastructure – Bridges and Tunnels

University of Greenwich -Department of Civil Engineering

(Ref: PGRO-ENG-08-13)

A three year PhD studentship is available to undertake research on the applications of non-destructive testing methods in Civil Engineering infrastructure (bridges, tunnels and highways).

This project is suitable for a candidate with a Master’s degree in civil/structural engineering and/or geophysics (with distinction). The successful candidate will also have experience or interests in one or more of the following: non-destructive methods (ground penetrating radar), 3D laser scanner, vibration detecting sensors, finite element analysis and numerical modelling.

The successful candidate will receive a £13,800 per annum bursary plus a contribution of up to £4,000 per annum towards the tuition fees (equivalent to the Home and EU tuition fees) during the term of the studentship, subject to performance.

Potential candidates should email Professor Amir Alani (m.alani@gre.ac.uk) with any queries.

An Application Form can be downloaded from www.gre.ac.uk/research/apply and should be returned to the Postgraduate Research Office clearly marked “PhD Studentship in Non-destructive Testing Methods”. The Application Form should be completed and returned to: postgraduateresearch@gre.ac.uk and include: an attached pdf file of a comprehensive CV and a one page covering letter explaining your interest in the project and how it relates to past experience and present motivations.

The closing date for applications is on 15 January 2014.
