Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology

 

We are hiring 14+ post-doctoral fellows in the 2nd cohort of our Marie Curie Future Roads Fellowships programme at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge.

The aim is to recruit, train and support individual fellows over 36 months, who wish to contribute towards a future where advances in data and materials science enable the physical road infrastructure assets to be cognisant of their state, and able to communicate it to their digital twin and robotic systems.

This involves a transformational step change from assumption-based to information-rich modelling, manual to self-sensing health monitoring, and negative to positive social and environmental outcomes.

These are excellent fellowships for post-docs and finishing PhD students interested in Digital Twins, Data Science, Sustainability, Smart Materials, or Automation Robotics with an emphasis on the roads network.

The deadline for applications is on 30 September.

Please visit the Digital Roads of the Future Website for more information on how to apply.
