Building Resilient Infrastructure for a Changing Climate
At the University of Rijeka’s Faculty of Civil Engineering, we are committed to advancing knowledge in civil engineering, with a focus on sustainable development and addressing the challenges of climate change. Our research is centered around climate-resilient infrastructure, exploring the impacts of landslides, floods, and coastal vulnerability on infrastructure systems.
Opportunities for Postdoctoral Fellows
We provide an engaging environment for postdoctoral researchers, offering opportunities to contribute to impactful research on climate adaptation in infrastructure:
Scientific Input: Be part of research in numerical analysis, engineering mechanics, and structural resilience.
Research Infrastructure: Access cutting-edge tools to conduct advanced analysis on climate risks to infrastructure.
Career Development: Receive mentoring and training to further your academic career and establish a strong research portfolio.
Networking: Collaborate with global experts, public institutions, and corporate partners in the field of sustainable development.
Secondment Hosting: Gain hands-on experience by working alongside public and private sector partners tackling real-world challenges.
Vision for Impact
The University of Rijeka envisions a future where civil engineering leads the way in creating infrastructure systems that can withstand the pressures of climate change. As Nino Krvavica, a key researcher at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, puts it, “Our work is about more than just designing structures; it’s about ensuring that they remain resilient in the face of evolving environmental threats, contributing to safer and more sustainable communities.”
How a Postdoc Can Contribute
A postdoctoral researcher joining our team would play a critical role in expanding our research scope and strengthening our capacity to address infrastructure resilience::
Advance Research: Bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to our ongoing studies on structural integrity and climate impacts.
Collaborate Internationally: Build connections with research institutions and industry partners focused on climate-adaptive infrastructure.
Attract Research Opportunities: Contribute to funding proposals that enable new research directions in civil engineering and sustainability.
