A PhD position is available at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (France) in collaboration with ANDRA, the French national radioactive waste management agency. Further details about the post and eligibility requirements are given in the attached pdf.
There is a multiple-position tenure-track faculty search in Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, see http://ceae.colorado.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-search/ . For those candidates interested in Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics, and/or Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics, please consider applying.
An internship research position is available at IFP Energies nouvelles, Rueil-Malmaison Cedex (France). The goal of the internship is the development of the S-FEM (smoothed finite element method) in Code_Aster, the free finite element solver developed by EDF R&D (France) actually used in sedimentary basin hydro-mechanical coupling at IFPEN. The expected duration is 20 to 24 weeks. See the attached flyer for more details.
A research position is availible at the Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institut in Karlsruhe, Germany. The project deals with the processes at the interface between soil and free water, leading to bed erosion. German language skills are required. Attached please find the job advertisement.
The PhD project – http://www.davidpconnolly.com/Hydraulic_fracturing_Connolly.pdf – is on hydraulic fracturing, combining experimental work and numerical simulations. It will be funded by the NERC CDT (Centre for Doctoral Training in Oil and Gas).

A research position is available for a highly motivated and talented individual with experience/interest in design and development of apparatuses for material testing in a collaborative project between Chalmers and Lund funded by Vetenskapsrådet (http://www.vr.se/inenglish). The aim of the proposal is to improve the fundamental understanding of fine-grained granular matter, such as quick clay, by experimentally studying the evolution of the structure of these materials on the micro scale for several controlled mechanical loading conditions. More details in the pdf file.
A Post-doctoral opportunity is available at GeoRessources laboratory, University of Lorraine, France, in the research field of Hydrodynamics and Transport Processes. Applications are invited for a 12 months contract to work on the development of original numerical approaches for the study of particle transport in preferential flows. More details in the pdf-file.
The 2-year postdoc position is part of an EPRSC (UK Research Council) grant that has recently been awarded to the University of Sheffield on “High speed granular debris flows: new paradigms and interactions in geomechanics”. More details at the webpage.
The position involves a 12-months contract at Deltares for the “Numerical modeling of impact and vibratory driven offshore piles with MPM”. The position is part of a larger project to translate field test results of monopile installation to sites with other densities and pile diameters using the numerical MPM approach. Supervisor is prof Frits van Tol from Delft University of Technology. More details in pdf.
