Dear colleagues,
We are currently recruiting 11 Ph.D. candidates across several European Universities, including at LMU Munich, within the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network “TREAD: daTa and pRocesses in sEismic hAzarD”.
ITN network PhD positions include various benefits including industry internships, summer schools, a strong international cohort and cross-institute collaboration.
The topics range from dynamic rupture modelling to fault mechanics; from structural geology to machine learning and more, all in the context of seismic hazard.
Each of the 11 positions is described in more detail on this page (https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/59623), where interested students can directly apply. We aim to start all PhD positions between September and November 2023.
Extended deadline for applications: April 30, 2023
Please help us spread the word to all next generation earthquake scientists,

A PhD position is currently open at University Grenoble Alpes / 3SR laboratory, for the multiscale study of the temperature-dependent behavior of cement-based materials. Please find attached a file that contains all the details about this opportunity, including the project objectives, application process and contact details.
The successful candidate will work on developing advanced computational models for the characterization of the behavior of cement-based materials under high-temperature conditions. The research team is seeking a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in material science, mechanics, civil engineering or a related field.
The ALERT Workshop 2023 (33rd Edition) should be held in Aussois from 25th to 27th September, 2023. Abstracts can now be submitted for the sessions. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc). If you wish to publish your presentation after the Workshop on the ALERT website, do not forget to agree by ticking the corresponding box in the abstract form.
Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The abstracts of the posters will be published in a separate booklet (ISSN registered).
The deadline for the abstract submission is May 19, 2023. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact the coordinators of the workshop sessions directly.
Here is a reminder of the workshop sessions as well as a short description of each of them. The call for abstract is open for the Session 1 and Session 3 only:
The ALERT Doctoral School 2023 will take place from the 28th September to 30th September 2023.
The theme is “Machine Learning (ML) in Geomechanics”, and the school is coordinated by Ioannis Stefanou and Félix Darve.
The objective of this doctoral school is to explain what Machine Learning is, what its main methods are and how can it be used for solving real-case problems in geomechanics, in particular, and in solid mechanics, in general. Lectures and hands-on exercises using regression and classification ML methods, supervised and unsupervised ML techniques, Artificial Neural Networks, deep learning and model reduction techniques will be taught.
The students will:
Requirements for the students:
For those interested in participating in the doctoral school, a short poll is available in order to get some information about your expectations from this school and ML: see the poll here.
The online registration for the ALERT School will open in July and will be announced on the website.
Geotechnical / Mechanical Engineering at University College Cork
A PhD position on “Geotechnical big data monitoring and assessment tools for evaluating whole-life performance of underground infrastructure” is now open at University College Cork.
This project will develop and improve the aforementioned two novel tools (distributed fibre optic sensing, drone, robotics and image-based defect assessment) for geo-infrastructure monitoring in collaboration with Cambridge University, UC Berkeley, Tyndall and industrial partners. The developed novel monitoring tools will be applied to 2-4 ageing & prospective underground infrastructures in a large scale to gather more comprehensive monitoring big data than previously available at lower cost.
