I am currently looking for hiring an international PhD student to do research in risk-informed life-cycle infrastructure management. Students who have strong background in civil engineering, industrial engineering, nuclear engineering, applied mathematics, or engineering management are welcome to apply. Ideally, the PhD Candidate in this area should have solid background in the following subjects:

I am currently looking for a research assistant from the first-year M.Eng. students to do research on pavement design and management. The candidate will have the potential to be transferred to MASc with competitive research stipend if she or he satisfies the minimum criteria of the transferal upon the completion of course work in May 2013.
I am also looking for an M.Eng. student (either year) to do a research project in condition assessment and performance evaluation for sewer systems.
