Applications are invited for a full Professor of Subsurface Engineering. This chair is a merger of the former part-time chairs of Foundation Engineering and Underground Space Technology, and concerns the practical implementation of geotechnical engineering concepts to address issues such as optimisation of foundation design, construction of tunnels in built-up areas, geo-risk management, sustainability, safety, and so on. More details and how to apply in the pdf file.

The University of Cambridge, in collaboration their industrial partner Deltares, is looking for a full-time post-doctoral researcher in the frame of EU Marie Curie MPM-Dredge project (http://mpm-dredge.eu/project-dredge/). The aim of the project is to develop a dynamic Material Point Method code for dredging applications. It aims to solve the numerical issues associated with large deformations and fluid pressures that occur in the interaction between soils and fluids.

The School of Petroleum Engineering (SCOPE) is amongst the top Petroleum Engineering departments around the world with substantial research funding from both government and private sectors. As a part of UNSW’s strategic initiative in unconventional energy and mineral resources, SCOPE is seeking a highly motivated academic researcher in the area of Theoretical and Applied Geomechanics. Applicants with exceptional research record in the very early stages of their academic career (up to 3 years post-PhD) are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will hold a PhD in the field of in Geomechanics, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics or Applied Mathematics, with demonstrated expertise in all three disciplines.

This is a full-time, fixed term appointment for three years. Application close: 19 June 2015. Further details and the online application form can be found at: http://www.jobs.unsw.edu.au/research-fellow-14

A Postdoctoral position is available at LTDS of Ecole centrale de Lyon (France). The research project concerns the modelling of filtration phenomena in geomaterials and in particular the design of a filtration criterion valid for gravels and ballast. More details in the PDF file.

A PhD position is available at GeoRessources Lab of the Université de Lorraine (France) in the “Multi-scale Hydro-Geomechanics group”. The research project concerns the modelling of crack initiation and propagation in anisotropic media accounting for Hydro-Mechanical couplings. More details in the PDF file.
