This is a full-time, on-site Doctoral Student position located in Wuhan, China, at Wuhan University. The Doctoral Student will be responsible for conducting research, attending seminars and conferences, collaborating with faculty members, writing high-quality research papers, and completing their dissertation. There are two vacancies. The research will be related to (1) AI-assisted non-destructive testing in rock masses and soils, and (2) application of the high-power microwave technique in the fracturing of rocks and strengthening of soils.

Vacancies: Two international students with full scholarships from the government. Outstanding students may also be eligible for an additional allowance to support their living and studies.

We are seeking a passionate and highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research group at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Belgium) for a research project on the integration of geothermal borefields into district heating and cooling networks. The work will combine the analysis and interpretation of extensive monitoring data collected from a geothermal borefield in Brussels, modelling activities of subsurface heat transfers between borehole heat exchangers, and the development of strategies for the optimal integration of such systems into urban energy networks.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to conduct research on the topic: “Behaviour of Concrete Structures as Lining for a Geological Disposal Facility of Radioactive Waste.”

This project combines fundamental studies on the theoretical and numerical time-dependent behaviour of concrete, including multiphysics analysis, with limited laboratory experiments. The ultimate objective is to assess the performance of a real structure.

The PhD is jointly funded by SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Centre) and ONDRAF/NIRAS (Belgian National Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Material), in collaboration with the Department of Structural Engineering and Building Materials (Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory), Ghent University.
