A Postdoctoral Civil Engineering job is a temporary research position for individuals who have recently earned a Ph.D. in civil engineering or a related field. It involves conducting advanced research, publishing findings, and collaborating with faculty, industry partners, or government agencies. Postdoctoral researchers may also assist in mentoring students and contributing to grant proposals. The goal is to deepen expertise, expand professional networks, and prepare for academic, research, or industry careers. Positions typically last one to three years.
As a Postdoctoral Civil Engineering researcher, you'll typically engage in advanced research projects focusing on areas such as structural analysis, sustainable materials, transportation systems, or geotechnical engineering, depending on your expertise and the hosting institution. You may work collaboratively with faculty members, graduate students, and industry partners, contributing to both independent and team-based research efforts. Regular responsibilities can include designing experiments, analyzing data, drafting manuscripts for publication, and presenting findings at conferences. Interdisciplinary collaboration is common, offering opportunities to expand your professional network and enhance your skills, which can lead to further academic or industry career advancement.
To thrive as a Postdoctoral Civil Engineering researcher, you need a Ph.D. in civil engineering or a related discipline, a robust background in research design, and advanced analytical skills. Proficiency with specialized software such as MATLAB, AutoCAD, or finite element analysis tools, and sometimes experience with laboratory equipment, is commonly required. Strong written and verbal communication, project management abilities, and collaboration skills set standout candidates apart. These competencies are vital for conducting impactful research, publishing findings, and working effectively in interdisciplinary academic or industry environments.

Opening for a Post-Doctoral Researcher in Water Resources Engineering - Connectivity-based Tools to Prioritize the Location of Stormwater Control Measures and Capture Urbanization Effects on Urban Basin Response
Duration: 2 years (based on expected funding availability and performance)
The Research Group of Dr. Claudio I. Meier at the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, University of Memphis, has an opening for a postdoctoral position focusing on studying the connectivity of developed land patches and their effects on the hydrologic response of urban watersheds.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or have successfully defended their dissertation prior to the start date) with a background in Civil Engineering or Hydrology. The qualified candidate must demonstrate knowledge of urban hydrology, surface-runoff dynamics, and established hydrologic connectivity metrics. Furthermore, the qualified candidate must possess advanced skills in geocoding, GIS, raster analysis/processing, and the management of large geospatial datasets. Familiarity with optimization techniques and accelerated computing are a plus for this position. Strong written and spoken English skills are required.
The successful candidate will (1) work on improving predictive methods for urban peak flows, (2) contribute to the development of decision-support strategies for optimizing the placement of stormwater control measures, (3) translate the developed tools into software, (4) provide tutoring sessions for the use of the software, (5) co-advise graduate students, and (6) collaborate with writing research manuscripts and research proposals.
Applications are to be submitted via https://workforum2.memphis.edu. Click on the faculty box to find the posting for the post-doctoral position in Water Resources Engineering. Applications must include a cover letter explaining the candidate's qualifications for the position and their goal for pursuing the postdoctoral position, a comprehensive curriculum vitae, and the full names and contact information of at least three professional or academic references, including at least one previous graduate advisor. The committee will begin screening applications immediately and continue until the position is filled. For any questions regarding the position, please contact Dr. Claudio I. Meier (cimeier@memphis.edu).
