Dr. Mahdi Taiebat

Thank you for your interest in joining our Theoretical & Applied Geomechanics (TAG) research team.

TWO Postdoctoral positions in Computational Geomechanics are currently available. For more information please see HERE.

Prospective MASc and PhD Students:

We always look for bright and motivated individuals with diverse perspectives, backgrounds, cultures, and personalities.

Successful applicants must 1) distinguish themselves academically, 2) demonstrate a passion for geomechanics and geotechnical earthquake engineering, 3) have good communication skills (for international students, minimum TOEFL or IELTS scores of 100 or 7, respectively), and 4) be independent and creative thinkers.

The ideal MASc candidate would have proficiency in a programming language (C++, Fortran, Python) and competency in solid, fluid, and soil mechanics. The ideal PhD candidate would be skilled in at least one of the following areas: a) FEM, FDM, MPM for solid mechanics (computation and/or program development); b) DEM for granular systems (computation and/or program development); c) Knowledge in mechanics and constitutive modeling of geomaterial. The PhD applicants must also have published at least one paper in a well-respected peer-reviewed journal.

If you meet the above qualifications, you are invited to e-mail a preliminary application with "GRADUATE-TAG" in the subject line to mtaiebat@civil.ubc.ca. The preliminary application should include the following in a single pdf file.

• A one-page (maximum) statement outlining your relevant qualifications as a graduate research student in geomechanics or geotechnical earthquake engineering, and why you are interested in the type of research done by our team.
• A brief CV (3 pages maximum) to include the contact information of two references.

After reviewing the preliminary applications, potential candidates will be contacted and encouraged to formally apply by Jan 31, 2024 for admission in September 2024. The number of MASc and PhD candidates admitted depends on the funding availability. Please indicate in your Statement if you have (or are eligible for) an external fellowship (e.g., an NSERC Fellowship).

The final decision on the admissions will be communicated only after the full formal application is reviewed. More information about funding is available here: https://www.civil.ubc.ca/academic-programs/graduate-program/funding.

Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows:

We are only looking for postdocs with previous experience in a topic related to our research areas, so that they will be able to be productive and somewhat independent. If you think you would be a productive contributor to our group as a postdoc, please e-mail me with the subject "POSTDOC-TAG" and include a concise explanation of how you would contribute to our group and an example of your prior research work (e.g., a notable publication).

Prospective Visiting Graduate Students:

We normally do not have the capacity to host short-term visiting students. If there is a compelling reason why you think we might make an exception to this policy (e.g., your research advisor has an ongoing collaboration with us or your research expertise aligns well with our ongoing works), please provide a concise explanation at the start of your e-mail when you contact us.
