A Post-doctoral opportunity and a PhD position are available at Division „Buildings & Structures“ at Federal Institute for Materials Research in Berlin, Germany. Both projects are concerned with the long-term prediction of plastic strains of cyclically loaded pile and bucket foundations for Offshore Wind Energy Converters.
Applications are invited for a 24 months Post Doc contract or for a 3 year contract to work on a PhD thesis. More details in the pdf-files (1 , 2).
A PhD position in Geomechanics is available at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland (4 years funding as part of the UK government NERC CDT funding scheme). The project entitled Bots in Rocks: Intelligent Rock Deformation for Fault Rock Petrophysical Properties is about using sensors to detect actual deformation states in lab deformed rock samples.

A PhD position is available at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (France) in collaboration with ANDRA, the French national radioactive waste management agency. Further details about the post and eligibility requirements are given in the attached pdf.
There is a multiple-position tenure-track faculty search in Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, see http://ceae.colorado.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-search/ . For those candidates interested in Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics, and/or Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics, please consider applying.
An internship research position is available at IFP Energies nouvelles, Rueil-Malmaison Cedex (France). The goal of the internship is the development of the S-FEM (smoothed finite element method) in Code_Aster, the free finite element solver developed by EDF R&D (France) actually used in sedimentary basin hydro-mechanical coupling at IFPEN. The expected duration is 20 to 24 weeks. See the attached flyer for more details.
A Winter School on the modelling of variably saturated porous materials, aimed at early stage researchers (i.e. PhD students), will be held from 19-23 of January 2015. The winter school is organised and hosted by the University of Padua, Italy. A limited number of full grants is provided and funded by the MUMOLADE initial training network. For more information on the scientific programme, full grants, and registration please visit the winter school’s website or see the attached flyer.
A research position is availible at the Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institut in Karlsruhe, Germany. The project deals with the processes at the interface between soil and free water, leading to bed erosion. German language skills are required. Attached please find the job advertisement.
