Position Overview:
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU) invites applications for several postdoctoral positions in 3D concrete printing. This project focuses on pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing for concrete infrastructure applications, particularly in optimizing materials and processes for large-scale, durable, and efficient construction. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of civil engineering, materials science, and computational design.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and refine 3D printing processes, with a focus on concrete material formulations and structural optimization.
• Use numerical modeling to evaluate and enhance the mechanical and rheological performance of printed structures.
• Apply data analytics and machine learning techniques to improve printing accuracy, efficiency, and defect detection.
• Design and integrate embedded devices for in-situ monitoring of print quality and structural health.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to advance next-generation 3D printing technologies for civil infrastructure.

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Expertise in 3D printing technologies, particularly concrete printing, with hands-on experience in machine learning and numerical modeling.
• Proficiency in data analytics, mechanical design, and embedded systems for structural monitoring.
• Strong programming skills (Python, MATLAB, etc.) and experience with CAD software.
• Demonstrated ability to publish research in high-impact journals.

Salary Range:
$60,000 - $75,000 per year, based on qualifications and experience. Prefer Starting date: between 01/2025- 03/2025

Application Process:
Interested candidates should send their CV, cover letter, and references to Dr. Su at ysu@lsu.edu
