Assistant Professor position in concrete technology (tenure track)

We are looking for talented candidates for a full-time Assistant Professor position to work in a vibrant community of students, researchers and experts.

Concrete is one of the most used building materials, thus having an essential role in civil engineering research and education. At Aalto, we want to solve problems related to its climate change impact, researching low-carbon concrete, the durability of concrete structures, the quality of concrete (process and testing), as well as the concreting process and durability in a cold climate. Overall, this tenure track position is focused on concrete as a construction material, not its structural engineering aspects, and therefore the following topics are not relevant for this position: earthquake engineering, 3D printing of concrete, and chloride corrosion.

We are looking for an expert who is prepared to integrate and transform these aspects into high-level scientific research focused on concrete material technology. We particularly invite applications from candidates with expertise on the sustainability of concrete. We value a research portfolio with studies on low-carbon concretes, freeze-thaw resistance and other durability properties of concrete, non-destructive testing methods, or automated testing of concrete.

Your role and experience

	Has completed a doctoral degree relevant for the position
	Has experimental experience and technical and methodological skills relevant to the field. Complementary theoretical and computational experience is highly appreciated.
	Has potential to carry out research and attract research funding at the highest level
	Has potential to collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment. In this professorship, cooperation with national stakeholders – both industrial and authorities – will be important.
	Has potential to take responsibility for education and researcher training in the field
	Has ability to be an effective teacher in the undergraduate and graduate degree programmes of the School of Engineering
	Fluent command in English, which is the main language of teaching and research at Aalto - Knowledge of the Finnish language, industry and culture is seen as an advantage


Your merits and potential will be appraised based on your position-relevant research of concrete, teaching and academic leadership, and activity in scientific community and society.  A bibliometric analysis will be conducted for supporting the evaluation of research merits. As the position is opened at Assistant Professor level, the academic evaluation is mainly based on the potential of the candidate.
