Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology

 

Our colleagues at the Construction Information Technology Laboratory are recruiting a Principal Research Associate (equivalent to Research Associate Professor) and four Senior Research Associates (equivalent to Research Assistant Professors) to co-lead a team of fifty-plus researchers who are working on a £14.5 million Digital Roads of the Future (DRF) initiative. 

The PRA will share overall responsibility with Professor Ioannis Brilakis, whilst the SRAs will each co-lead a team of twelve-plus Research Associates and PhD students in: 

Digital Twins with Professor Ioannis Brilakis

Data Science with Professor Mark Girolami 

Smart Materials with Professor Abir Al-Tabbaa

Automation Robotics with Professor Fumiya Iida

We are looking for candidates with significant research experience as an academic or SRA (for the PRA vacancy) / RA (for the SRA vacancies). We will also be separately advertising DRF post-doctoral fellowship opportunities for recent PhD graduates in December.
