Postdoctoral Researcher Recruitment Notice from Professor Yang Zhenjun's Research Group, School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Wuhan University

Professor Yang Zhenjun's research group from the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Wuhan University is in need of several postdoctoral researchers and research assistants for its scientific research work. The recruitment is valid for a long term.

Yang Zhenjun, a second-level professor at Wuhan University, is a doctoral supervisor in structural engineering and solid mechanics. He is a national-level young talent and a fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers, UK. In the past four years, he has been consistently listed on Elsevier's China Most Cited Researchers list and Stanford University's World's Top 2% Scientists list. He has led over 30 projects, including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the UK, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany, the US and European Aeronautics Research Fund, the Zhejiang Provincial Outstanding Youth Fund, and commissions from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Academy of Engineering Physics. He serves as an editorial board member for several SCI-indexed English journals (non-OA), including the associate editor of Structures, a journal in the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has supervised over 20 doctoral students and 6 postdoctoral researchers (currently, 2 are professors and 6 are associate professors at universities both at home and abroad, with one serving as a dean). His laboratory is equipped with world-leading in-situ micro-CT scanning equipment, computational mechanics simulation software, and high-performance computing workstations.
