Job Title: Research Fellow (Pavement Design and Modelling)
Posting Start Date: 06/10/2025
:

The National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for one (1) Research Fellow position in the area of mechanistic-empirical asphalt pavement design with focus on new materials and incorporation of sensors in design. The candidate is expected to work on research projects related to the topic funded by the National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF) and Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA), and the Defence Science and Technology Agency of Singapore (DSTA). The candidate will be working with Associate Professor Ong Ghim Ping Raymond from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Design and Engineering (CDE)( in fundamental and translational research in the development of new asphalt pavement design guidelines.
The selected individual is required to:

• Perform laboratory and field experiments on asphalt pavements functional and environmental performance as core focus.
• Work on mechanistic empirical pavement design and balanced mix design standard development.
• Model pavement behaviours using analytical and numerical methods with the end goal in modification of mechanistic empirical pavement design and balanced mix design to suit local context.
• Develop state of the art solutions for high performance pavement system and work closely with contractors and agencies on field construction implementation to ensure solution is commercially viable.
• Manage research project progress, grant administration, and finance.
• Work on other relevant tasks set out by the project PI.

Job Requirements

• Applicants should have a PhD in civil engineering or a related area.
• Applicants with relevant experience in both experimental and field asphalt pavement design, standard development and construction would be favourably considered. Candidates without experience are welcome to apply.
