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,
Kind regards,

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.
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.

“Multi-scale approach to study the effect of fines content and particle shape on static liquefaction potential of loose mine tailings”
The main objective of the proposed PhD project is to develop a general multi-scale framework to assess the static liquefaction potential of loose tailings as a function of fines content and grain shape, based on experimental testing and numerical DEM simulations.
We offer a fully-funded 4-year PhD position, as part of a collaboration between academic institutions, Polytechnique Montréal (Canada) and Université de Montpellier (France), and industrial partners SRK Consulting (Canada) and Peñoles Mining Company (Mexico).
We invite the candidates to send a detailed CV to Prof. Carlos Ovalle (carlos.ovalle@polymtl.ca) & Prof. Emilien Azéma (emilien.azema@umontpellier.fr).
