Job Description
Postdoctoral Position
Low-Carbon Concrete and Emerging Supplementary Cementitious Materials
A postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated researcher to contribute to the project “Propelling Canada’s Low-Carbon Built Environment: Pathways with Net-Zero Concrete.” by advancing innovative concrete technologies aligned with the Cement Association of Canada Net-Zero Carbon Concrete Roadmap.
Project Overview
Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) represent a critical pathway to reducing the carbon footprint of concrete. However, supplies of traditional SCMs—such as Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag—are declining due to structural changes in the energy and steel sectors. This project aims to advance high-SCM concrete technologies to support Canada’s infrastructure needs while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The research integrates materials science, sustainability assessment, and pathways to field implementation.
