The geotechnics group of the research group CERIS based at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal has a vacant post-doctoral research position currently open for applications. The position is full-time with a duration of up to 30 months, after a probation period of 6 months. The work planned under the contract is in support of the project DEEPCOOL and will involve a number of activities namely: small scale model testing, numerical modelling and dissemination activities.
Continue readingThe Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) has vacant doctoral student position. The doctoral student will carry out research in soil mechanics, soil dynamics and geophysics to develop a new method for geotechnical field investigations. Note that this position targets the intermediate two-year Licentiate degree, but that the university will aim to secure the remaining funding to possibly let the candidate to continue to a PhD degree.

Fed up with polluted skies? Looking forward to sunny days? Come to Barcelona to enjoy the Mediterranean climate while contributing with your research to address one of the major challenges of the XXI century: achieving zero emissions to see the blue sky again.
We offer a 3-year PhD position for developing characterization methodologies based on the coupled response of the subsurface to fluid injection/extraction in subsurface energy applications. The position is related to the ERC-StG project GEoREST (predictinG EaRthquakES induced by fluid injecTion), funded by the European Research Council (ERC, https://erc.europa.eu/). The candidate will perform her/his research at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in a collaborative and enthusiastic environment.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for highly motivated, perseverant and creative individuals with strong analytical and problem solving skills willing to leave their footprint on science. Candidates should hold a MSc in Engineering or Physics and have good knowledge on geomechanics and/or geotechnical engineering and hydrogeology. Experience in numerical modeling and programming will be appreciated. Additionally, we will value scientific publications in international journals and participations in conferences. The candidate will be integrated into an international team, so good communication skills and team working capabilities are required. Excellent level of English, both written and oral, is a requirement.
APPLICATIONS
If you are interested, please send an application, including CV and a cover letter describing interests and qualifications related to the position and contact details of two reference people, to Victor Vilarrasa, erc.georest@gmail.com, before 31st of May, 2019. Selection will be performed on the basis of the excellence of the CV and motivation.
