The goal of this project is to investigate the multi-scale behaviour of clay rock, going from microscopic to macroscopic scale. The research will be based on multi-scale
approach and numerical method allowing to model microstructure media in a double-scale framework (FEMxFEM). The postdoc position is available at 3SR Laboratory (P. Bésuelle, CNRS, UGA).

Applications should be submitted by emailing a CV together with the academic grades (detail of marks) to the supervisor Pierre Bésuelle
