Dear colleagues,
We are looking for a highly motivated student to work with us on the topic of “Microstructural and erosion behaviour studies of vegetation-treated soils of hydraulic earth structures for power generation systems“.
The funding for this PhD thesis is two fold: 1/2 from the french ministry (CDE) and 1/2 from ShanDong University. More information can be found in the attached document, including email addresses to contact the supervision team and important deadlines for application.
Dear colleagues,
We would like to advertise the following opportunities at Charles University in Prague.
– Two fully-funded PhD scholarships in geomechanics
– Support for applying for a postdoctoral fellowship (landslides, natural hazards) through the MSCA & CHARLESTON programmes
Please see the attached documents here and here for details.
