The School of Engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, one of the leading engineering academic institutions in Latin America and ranked among the top four emerging leaders for engineering education worldwide, invites outstanding candidates for a full-time faculty position in the area of Geotechnical Engineering with an emphasis on experimental soil mechanics at the Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering. Please find the details on this position at this link.
Applications are invited for an open PhD position at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) within the research training group GRK 2462 “Processes in natural and technical Particle-Fluid-Systems” (PintPFS), founded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG).
In the framework of the graduate school, Particle-Fluid-Systems are investigated in an interdisciplinary approach, combining the expertise of researchers from the fields of civil engineering, process engineering, mechanical engineering and materials research as well as a multitude of experimental and numerical research methods. PhD students are supposed to work on individual but interlinked research topics in an excellent research group accompanied by guest scientists, lectures and workshops as well as hard and soft skill seminars. The PhD project at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering supervised by Prof. Jürgen Grabe is entitled:
Experimental and numerical investigation of PFS under consideration of capillary effects
For further information on the project, please contact Prof. Jürgen Grabe.

There is a PhD position open at The Institute of Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK, for Sept 2019 entry, on “Interplays of compressible gas, liquid phase and organic pore surfaces in shale pores, and their impacts on shale gas production: a pore-scale modelling study”. For details, please follow the link.
Applications are invited for 2 PhD students to be based within the Section of Geo-
Engineering, to work on the SOFTTOP research project funded by the Dutch Organisation for Research NWO, as part of the DeepNL research initiative. The study investigates how non-linearity and degradation of deltaic laminated sands and organic clays affect the dynamic response of soil layers, under the typical repeated but short duration loads from induced earthquakes. The study is based on experimental testing and numerical modelling, and includes a multiscale analysis of spatial variations in the subsoil. The aim of the project is to develop advanced models able to lead to more accurate predictions of deformations at the ground surface.
Faculty/department Civil Engineering and Geosciences Level Master degree Maximum employment 38-40 hours per week (1 FTE) Duration of contract 4 years Salary scale €2325 to €2972 per month gross
