A 18 month full-time postdoc position is available at the University of Poitiers (IC2MP Laboratory) in France on the “Numerical modelling of hydraulically induced damages and crack propagation under partially-saturated conditions”. Please see the attachment for further details.
The appointments form part of the cutting-edge project ERC-StG CoQuake (Controlling earthQuakes), funded by the European Research Council (ERC). Both positions offer the possibility of working on a challenging and stimulating research topic. The knowledge, innovation and skills to be developed will open perspectives for career development both in industry and academia.
The PhD candidates will carry out research under the supervision of the ERC-StG holder, Assoc. Pr. Ioannis Stefanou, in the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech facilities (Navier laboratory) situated close to Paris.
