Project Officer (Engineering solution to climate impacts)The Climate Transformation Programme (CTP) aims to develop, inspire and accelerate knowledge-based solutions and educate future leaders to establish the stable climate and environment necessary for resilient, just, and sustainable Southeast Asian societies.
CTP will generate knowledge and innovation across disciplines including climate and Earth science, ecology, materials science, artificial intelligence, humanities, social sciences and the arts, finance, health, and engineering. It will also translate state-of-the-art scientific results into real world solutions for Singapore, and it will transfer these solutions to Southeast Asia (SEA) and beyond.
As part of this programme, Research Cluster 4: Novel engineering solutions for climate impacts, will explore engineering solutions to adapt to sea-level rise and climate-constrained water resources. The CTP research programme is summarised here: https://earthobservatory.sg/research/climate/climate-transformation-programme >.
The Project Officer will be based in School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and will be expected to work effectively for advancing the engineering solutions to mitigate the climate change impact which focus on new design concepts for seawalls and coastal defence systems. The position is expected to perform independent and collaborative research to meet the project objectives, to assist the management work of the project daily operation to facilitate the success of the project.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct research on laboratory experiments to test the performance of flexible seawall in flume test.
Keep track of the latest related research developments
Writing project progress reports
Assist in the daily project operation management
Job Requirements:
Bachelor in civil engineering, Coastal Engineering or related discipline
Expertise in laboratory soil mechanics testing
Knowledge in ground improvement, coastal erosion and management, hydrodynamics
