The Geotechnical Research Group at Chalmers University of Technology is looking for a highly motivated and talented individual to fill a PhD student position linked with a research project funded by Formas (Swedish research council). The project will focus on the development of calcined clays as supplementary cementitious material for ground improvement (mass stabilisation, deep mixing). The project is conceived as an experimental PhD in which the fundamental response at the material science scale and engineering scale will be probed. There is already a sister project in place that looks more closely into the creation of calcined clays and their role as SCM in concrete. Hence, in the advertised project we truly look into geomechanics, i.e. starting with the physico-chemical processes and linking those to the emerging mechanical response of the improved natural clay.

Our lab, Multi-physics and Multi-scale Modelling Lab (M3 Lab), is now seeking highly motivated PhD students to conduct advanced research topics associated with geo-energy, geoenvironmental and geohazards in Westlake University (a brandnew high-level research institution in China).
The leader of M3 Lab, Dr. Sergio, has the expertise and in-house codes, in several areas of computational, physical and theoretical modelling of complex processes commonly found in Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering.
Research Topic
The PhD project will focus on creating advanced modelling techniques for the complex physics present in geoenvironmental problems. Excellent applicants coming from Mathematics, Physics, Civil or Mechanical Engineering, or related fields are welcome to apply. Experiences in computational methods such as Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, Particle Finite Element Method, Material Point Method , Discrete Element Method, Lattice Boltzmann Method or other related methods are also highly desirable.

School of Civil Engineering of Shandong University invites applications for a postdoctoral position at Shandong University, China. The research project will focus on developing advanced detection technologies for geohazard prevention based on drones (UAVs). New monitoring and early warning systems for geohazards (slope failure, rock fall, dam deterioration, etc) will be established based on UAV digital photogrammetry and other UAV-mounted devices such as magnetic survey device, LiDAR, thermal infrared radar, etc. This research project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and two leading industrial partners.

Dear colleagues,
We have the pleasure to inform you that a Post Doc position in computational mechanics / civil engineering is proposed at INRAE Grenoble, in the field of protection against natural hazards.
This work is dedicated to the reliability analysis of a complex protection structure subjected to localized impact loading and modelled using a numerical model based on the non-smooth contact dynamics method.
Please contact us if you are interested in this position, and thanks in advance for sharing it with people that might be.
