The Mechanical and Civil Engineering (MCE) Department at the California Institute of Technology invites applications for a George Housner Postdoctoral Fellowship in earthquake engineering. The intent of the program is to support innovative early career scientists in making a significant, original research contribution. The potential research topics should focus on cross-cutting themes related to infrastructure resiliency and subsurface engineering in the context of natural or manmade earthquake hazard. The postdoctoral research scholars are expected to concentrate on their research and writing; collaborate with the MCE and Caltech research community; mentor graduate and undergraduate students; and give public seminars/lectures on their research.

The duration of the appointment is typically two years, contingent upon good progress in the first year, with the annual stipend of $65,000, and a research expense fund of $5,000. Only those who have received their Ph.D. after May 15, 2019 and do not hold a tenure-track position are eligible to apply. All fellows must have successfully defended their dissertations prior to the commencement of the appointment.

The application review will begin on February 15, 2022 and continue until the position is filled. To apply, candidates should submit the following materials:

• Curriculum vitae;
• One-page research statement that, in part, reflects on the relation of the applicant’s interests to the ongoing earthquake engineering related research in MCE and identifies potential MCE faculty host(s);
• One or two research papers or dissertation chapters related to the candidate’s major research theme;
• Three confidential letters of reference submitted by the letter writers directly to the web portal.

 

If there are any questions about the application process, please contact housne...@caltech.edu.
