Join the Numerical Modelling and Digitalization for Building Materials and Concrete Structures research group at the Institute for Concrete Structures and Building Materials at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.
We’re seeking a motivated individual to support our ground-breaking research on Multiphysics modelling for the long-term evolution of critical infrastructures like nuclear reactors and bridges. You’ll have the opportunity to develop innovative thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical models, enabling reliable predictions of concrete structure service life. With hands-on experiments, cutting-edge numerical modelling, and collaboration with leading experts, this role offers a unique pathway to advance your career and make a lasting impact in the field. For further information contact Dr. Ravi Patel (ravi.patel@kit.edu) as well as on this pdf file.
A call is open to award one researcher/PhD student grant within the I&D Project INTENT – Intelligent health monitoring of road infrastructures using bender elements embedded in pavements, reference 2022.06879.PTDC, funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT). The recipient is expected to conduct research in the field of Civil Engineering/Geomechanics at the University of Minho, in Guimarães, Portugal.
The grant holder will work at the ISISE Research Centre, University of Minho, to develop, test and produce Bender Elements (BE) sensors taking into account a set of specifications defined in a previous Task of the project. Subsequently, these sensors will be delivered and installed for field tests aimed at the continuous monitoring of road granular layers.
Job: Research grant for MSc graduates, with an option to undertake a PhD
Research field: Civil Engineering/Geomechanics
Stating date: July, 2023
Application deadline: June, 7, 2023

The University of Dundee is looking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to work on the EPSRC-funded research project “Braced Excavations: what about the corners?“, jointly held with Durham University. The aim of this project is to develop new and more accurate ways to predict ground movements and prop loads for large, braced excavations as regularly used around the world for the construction of new underground transportation infrastructure.
The post holder will work on the University of Dundee Geotechnical Centrifuge to create and test models of 2- and 3-dimensional braced excavations to provide validation data for numerical approaches developed at Durham University. The position will be for 3 years.
To apply for this position, please go to https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CZS581/postdoctoral-research-assistant
The application deadline is midnight on Friday 09 June. Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Jonathan Knappett (j.a.knappett@dundee.ac.uk).

A position for a PhD in Geomechanics is open at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). The doctoral project will focus on geomechanical aspects of CO2 storage in aquifer and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs. The hydro-mechanical response of reservoir rocks will be investigated accounting for chemo-mechanical effects and coupling with geochemical reactions. The research programme will be carried out jointly with Stellantis and the PhD student is expected to spend at least six months in the industry, bridging the gap between academic research and industrial applications, and six months in another University/Research Institution outside Italy.
Interested candidates can write to: guido.musso@polito.it
The call expires on June 20th and is available here: https://www.polito.it/en/education/phd-programmes-and-postgraduate-school/admissions-to-phd-programmes/admissions/call-for-applications
