Career Opportunities
The high-level training offered by the PhD program in Structural Engineering, Seismic Engineering and Geotechnics allows PhD students to continue their work along three paths: (a) in the academic field; (b) within other public or private research institutions or companies with a focus on research and development; (c) professional activities in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Industrial Engineering (typically as an independent freelancer or high level consultant, mainly as a structural analyst or in the field of advanced structural design and monitoring).
The interdisciplinary approach of the PhD program allows to enhance the experience gained during the study period in different fields: from the design of large infrastructures to the conservation and restoration of monumental and architectural heritage, from seismic design to slope stability, without forgetting the numerous problems common to different branches of Industrial Engineering (mechanical, aerospace, nuclear and bioengineering).
