The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the United Arab Emirates University is seeking a motivated Research Assistant (RA) for a 2-year funded Startup Grant project. The research focuses on the preparation, characterization, and predictive modelling of fiber composites reinforcing bars used later for concrete structures. The RA will conduct experiments on physical, thermal, and mechanical -short and long-term- properties and contribute to the development of service life prediction models (Arrhenius Model). Responsibilities include laboratory experiments, data analysis, preparation of manuscripts, and support for dissemination activities.
