The Civil Engineering Department at KU Leuven and the engineering company FUNDEX Verstraeten BV is excited to announce an opening for a highly enthusiastic and motivated individual to pursue full-time doctoral studies in the field of Offshore Geotechnics. This opportunity is a collaboration between the Hydraulics & Geotechnics Section, led by prof. Georgios Anogiatis, known as George Anoyatis, (Campus Bruges, Faculty of Engineering Technology) and the Structural Mechanics Section, led by prof. Stijn François (Campus Arenberg – Leuven, Faculty of Engineering Science) at KU Leuven with the support of prof. Hadrien Rattez at the Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering (IMMC) Laboratory, UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve). 

With reference to Offshore Geotechnics, the academic partners from KU Leuven and UCLouvain are actively engaged in cutting-edge research projects focusing on foundations for offshore wind turbines, suction caissons, (mono)pile installation and extraction techniques. These projects combine theoretical developments with experimental approaches. Notably, we are part of a national collaborative research project titled “SAGE-SAND” that has established a testing site for monopile foundations in Zeebrugge, Belgium. More details about this project can be found on the project’s webpage: https://bwk.kuleuven.be/projects/sage-sand.
We look forward to welcoming a new member to our dynamic research team!
