**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 long-term loading and repeated (cyclic) loading including assembly-disassembly-reassembly loops;
- To evaluate the effects of “dynamic” hygroscopic behaviour of wood undergoing continuous moisture variations on the wood-steel 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 bio-based 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.
- All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as a wide range of training and education opportunities, 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed bridge days, bicycle allowance and eco vouchers.
