Second announcement of “Computational & Geoenvironmental Geomechanics for Underground and Subsurface Structures-COGGUS2” – Call for abstracts
Dear Colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the Call for Papers for a Special Issue on “Computational & Geoenvironmental Geomechanics for Underground and Subsurface Structures”, to be published after peer-review in “European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering” journal.
Postdoctoral research fellows, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu, Sichuan, China
The State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection (SKLGP), Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, is seeking several full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join the laboratory research groups on rock and soil mechanics. The posts are fixed-term for 24 months, with possibility of renewal up to three years, starting as soon as possible.
We are currently looking for the following research profile: Experimental soil and rock mechanics.
10th ALERT Olek Zienkiewicz Winterschool 2018. 5th-9th of November, Bari, Italy
The 10th ALERT Olek Zienkiewicz Winterschool 2018: Natural versus compacted clayey soils: from micro to macro behaviour and modelling will be held from the 5th to the 9th of November 2018 in Bari, Italy.
The Winterschool is organised by the Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Education, Research and Technology (ALERT), the Politecnico di Bari and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. It will focus on the hydro-mechanics of clayey soils, either natural, or compacted, and provide knowledge about their genesis and consequent features at the micro to meso-scale, and about how their macro-response varies with the micro to meso-features.
Position for Postdoctoral Researcher in Geotechnical Engineering. Aalto University, Finland
We seek a qualified and motivated individual with enthusiastic attitude towards high-quality research to work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the department of Civil Engineering. The main research area is the laboratory testing of geotechnical engineering materials. Our speciality is the testing of soft, anisotropic clays as well as the testing of stabilized soils. We have much expertise on these areas, but we want to strengthen it by building a bigger research group, where you would be one of the key member. We are also applying for an additional financing to ensure long-term research. Besides laboratory testing, our group consists of specialists on numerical modelling and constitutive modelling of soils, which opens you the possibility to develop constitutive models based on your experimental data. The position is for a period of 2 years, with a mid-term review, and it should start around December 2018. The position is intended for full-time work.
