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.
