🚨 Fully funded PhD opportunity – Fall 2026 (Montréal, Canada) 🚨
one fully funded PhD student to join the Group for Research in Structural Engineering (GRS) in the Department of Civil, Geological, and Mining Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, starting Fall 2026.
🔎 Project focus
The PhD will work on reliability-based and performance-based assessment of critical infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on dams and water-retaining structures. The goal is to move beyond traditional deterministic safety factors toward probabilistic, data-driven, and decision-oriented frameworks that better reflect uncertainty, failure modes, and real operating conditions
🧠 Who should apply?
looking for candidates with a background in structural engineering and a strong interest in one or more of the following areas:
– Reliability and risk analysis
– Computational and numerical modeling
– Machine learning / AI for engineering applications
– Probabilistic methods and uncertainty quantification
📩 How to apply
Interested students are invited to email Rocio Lilen Segura at rocio-lilen.segura@polymtl.ca with:
– CV
– Transcripts
– A 1-page description of their background and research interests
– Names and contact info of 3 referees
