Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Research Assistant within School of Civil Engineering.
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant to support an innovative project funded by the Enterprise Ireland-Construct Innovate Centre focused on integrating End-of-Life Tires (ELTs) produced crumb rubber into asphalt mixtures for pavement construction. The project aims to find a sustainable and durable application of incorporating end-of-life-tyre (ELTs) in flexible pavement construction and/or maintenance. Crumb rubber is actively sought as one of the potential ingredients in asphalt mix. However, the scope of the project is not limited to crumb rubber. Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) is also found a potential modifier or additive that improves the asphalt's performance and durability. The project is also open to other techniques to improve asphalt performance by repurposing ELTs.
