\ud83d\udea8 Fully funded PhD opportunity \u2013 Fall 2026 (Montr\u00e9al, Canada) \ud83d\udea8

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 Montr\u00e9al, starting Fall 2026.

\ud83d\udd0e 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

\ud83e\udde0 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

\ud83d\udce9 How to apply
Interested students are invited to email Rocio Lilen Segura<\/a> at rocio-lilen.segura@polymtl.ca<\/a> with:
– CV
– Transcripts
– A 1-page description of their background and research interests
– Names and contact info of 3 referees
