KU Leuven has a full-time academic vacancy in the Department of Civil Engineering focused on concrete material modelling and data-driven concrete science in the field of concrete technology and concrete durability. The vacant position is available at Ghent Campus, part of the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the Science, Engineering and Technology Group of KU Leuven.

We are looking for internationally oriented candidates with proven teaching skills and a solid research record in the domain of concrete technology, approached through concrete material modelling and data-driven concrete science. The vacancy is striving for innovation in concrete mix design and concrete technology from a sustainability and durability point of view, by expanding the use of modern (computational) modelling theories and methods. The envisaged research should accelerate the knowledge acquisition on linking concrete performances (as rheology, strength, durability including cracking and service life estimation) to mix design parameters
