A four year PhD research position beginning at 1.9.2012 is offered by Institute for Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Management at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH)/Germany.

The project is focused on filling of port basins with mud, and creep of soft marine soils. Experimental, theoretical and numerical investigations are planned therefore.

A 12 month Post-Doc (or equivalent) position is offered at Deltares (Unit Geo-engineering), Delft, the Netherlands, with regard to the creep properties of soils, in particular peat. Activities will include laboratory testing and test development of samples of in particular peat, and use, evaluation and improvement of numerical models (finite strain as well as finite element) which include viscous effects.
