We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position at the School of Marine Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology (SCUT), ranked #187 in the US News 2024 rankings. The successful candidate will contribute to an innovative research project titled: “Seismic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines Considering Soil-Foundation Interaction: Deterministic and Probabilistic Approaches.” This project is in collaboration with Grenoble Alpes University (UGA) and Nantes University (NU) in France. The position is full-time and offered for two years. Further details are provided in the attached file: Postdoctoral information.

The application deadline has been extended to November 27, 2024.

The Chair of Soil Micro Mechanics of the Civil Engineering and Management Department at the University of Twente is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher (24 months) with research interests in geomechanics, geophysics, multiphysics, and multi-scale methods (e.g., discrete element method and finite element method) to join the University of Twente (Netherlands). You will work on multi-scale modeling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanically processes in fault gouges leading to earthquake ruptures.

The post-doc position is part of the “FastSlip” project funded by the DeepNL programme of the Dutch Research Council (NWO). You will join a multidisciplinary team of leading experts in the fields of Granular Mechanics, Earth sciences, and Tribology from the University of Twente (UT) and Utrecht University (UU).

A postdoc position is now open in geomechanics at Department of
Geotechnical Engineering of Tongji University, China (ranked 1st for
civil engineering by U.S. News and ARWU). The project is on the
characterization of the inelastic processes of geomaterials under
multi-physics processes (i.e., drainage and imbibition process of
hydrogen storage in underground porous media, breakage mechanisms of
granular materials, and Thermal-Hydro-Chemo-Mechanical coupling in
carbon dioxide sequestration).

The postdoc will perform independent research under the supervision of
Dr. Xianda Shen. This is a two-year fixed term contract with possible
extensions if needed and can be started immediately. Annual salary is
around EUR 40,000 with extra bonus based on performance and
contributions to the department.

Interested applicants can forward a single PDF consisting of a 1-page
cover letter, a full CV, and contact details of two references to Dr.
Xianda Shen (xshen@tongji.edu.cn). The review of candidates will begin
on November 1st, 2024, and applications will be accepted until the
position is filled. For any additional information, see the attached
pdf, visit the lab website (https://xiandashen.github.io./), or please

Postdoc position: Flow kinematics in transparent replicas of geomaterial samples using innovative 3D printing/molding techniques.

The research unit RECOVER from INRAE Aix-Marseille University is pleased to invite applications of talented and motivated candidates for a postdoctorate position (24-30 months) dedicated to the experimental characterization and direct flow visualisation in optically transparent porous media replicating as closely as possible the microstructure of real porous material and geomaterial samples scanned via X-ray tomography. The replicas will be obtained by elaborating innovative 3D printing and molding techniques. Achieving such transparent replica of real soil samples will allow for in-depth investigation of the transport processes in complex 3D porous microstructures.

The postdoctoral position is part of project KiWiPoM (2024-2028) supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR): https://recover.paca.hub.inrae.fr/nos-projets/kiwipom
