YOUR TASKS
Are you passionate about circularity and wood? Would you like to conduct research? Then this position is for you.

You will be involved in the CIRCOMP project:
Developing a circular steel-timber composite floor system through innovative and demountable shear connections. This project is a collaboration between UGent-Woodlab and the Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG) at UHasselt.

As a researcher at UGent-Woodlab, you will focus on the hygroscopic behavior of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor element and how this can affect the reusability of the wood-steel system.

Additionally, you will collaborate and exchange research insights with the CIRCOMP researcher at UHasselt, who will focus on the mechanical performance of the wood-steel connection.


Specifically, you will conduct the following research:

  • To assess the disassembly and reusability of the developed systems after longterm loading and repeated (cyclic) loading including assemblydisassemblyreassembly loops;
  • To evaluate the effects of "dynamic" hygroscopic behaviour of wood undergoing continuous moisture variations on the woodsteel system, with dimensional changes being limited by the connection between materials;
  • To assess durability of materials when exposed to outdoor environments;


As part of the scientific personnel, you will also undertake research support tasks within UGent-Woodlab (to a limited extent), publish your findings in scientific journals, and present them at (international) conferences.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

  • You hold a Master's degree (preferably in Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering-Architecture, or

Industrial Engineering:
Construction or Industrial Design Engineering Technology).

  • Preferably, you have research experience with wood or other biobased materials and/or research experience related to moisture behavior in materials.
  • You can communicate fluently (both orally and in writing) in Dutch and English.
  • You can plan and execute your tasks independently and efficiently.
  • You have excellent communication skills.
  • You function well in a team setting.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

  • We offer you a contract of definite duration for the period from 2 years.
  • Your contract will start on 1/08/2024 at the earliest.
  • Your remuneration will be determined by salary scale WM1 to WM4. Click here for more information about our salary scales.
