Heriot Watt University is now accepting applications for a PhD opportunity on “The effects of fluid flow on the transport properties of faults in Enhanced Geothermal Systems”. Applications will be accepted until 1 February 2019. More information can be found at the link
Dear Colleagues, dear friends,
The 2019 EMI International Conference will be held at INSA Lyon, Villeurbanne, France during July 3-5 2019. This event will be a forum to present the newest findings and to depict the future development in Engineering Mechanics as the core discipline of science-enabled Civil and Mechanical Engineering understood in the broadest sense. The oral presentations will be dedicated to academia and to colleagues from companies who are interested in your achievements and who are willing to present their findings. Proposals for mini-symposia (MS) may be submitted until January 15 (an extra one more week might be acceptable). Then abstract submission will open on January 16 until March 15. The topics are related to:
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we welcome your MS proposals.
For more information about the conference, see: EMI-IC 2019 Mini-symposia.
Dear Colleagues,
it is our pleasure to invite you to the Invited Session:
“Computational Models and Methods for Multiphysics Processes in
Multiphase Porous Media” (Invited Session Code: 34)
that we are organizing at the VIII International Conference on Coupled
Problems in Science and Engineering – COUPLED PROBLEMS 2019,

conference and IACM Special Interest Conference will be held on 3-5
June in Sitges, Barcelona.
There are currently two open positions for academic staff at the lecturer/senior lecturer level within the Geotechnics Section of the Dept. Civil Engineering at Imperial College London. The first position has an emphasis on experimental soil mechanics, while the second position is for someone with an expertise in ground investigation and / or engineering geology.
Please find the details on these two positions at these weblinks:

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.
