Abstracts (up to 1 page) to be submitted until 1. June 2016 to https://www.conftool.net/eurotun2017/. Templates are given at http://www.eurotun2017.com/de/registration/submit-contribution/.
The Université de Pau (France) and the University of Durham (UK) are advertising PhD studentships, which will lead to a double degree by both universities. The studentships are offered within the framework of the “Marie Curie” Network TERRE (further details in the attached document).
A position for a post-doctoral researcher is available at the GeM laboratory (University of Nantes). The project is designed to start a new numerical FEM approach to model internal erosion, complementary to the experimental approach developed by the team. The project requires good modelling skills (FEM) and if possible knowledge of the mixture theory. You can find attached a one-page description of the postdoctoral position.

The second PETRUS-OPERA PhD early-stage researcher conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Geological Disposal will take place in Delft, 27 June – 1 July, 2016. The conference consists of two main components:
– A set of high quality lectures on radioactive waste disposal presented by international experts.
– Oral presentation and poster exhibition of on-going research work by participants. The best oral and poster presentations will be rewarded.
PhD students and early-stage researchers who are involved in any aspects of radioactive waste research are invited to submit an extended abstract of 1-3 pages. Research subjects from the social and economic areas related to the radioactive waste management are welcome too.
The conference is free of charge. For more information please see the attached pdf or www.petrus-opera2016.eu.
The DynamiX Laboratory is a new, state of the art facility for high speed X-ray radiography and tomography, designed exclusively for imaging inside deforming geomaterials. There are now four open PhD positions for those interested in experimental, numerical or analytical research work in granular materials and geomechanics. Please see here for more information:
