After the increasingly successful conferences held in Tokyo (1995), Lisbon (1999), Berkeley (2004), Thessaloniki (2007), Santiago (2011), and Christchurch (2015), the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering – 7ICEGE (www.7icege.com) will take place in Roma (Italy) on june, 17-20 in 2019.
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 Bureau of ALERT Geomaterials has decided to fund the Ioannis Vardoulakis PhD Prize 2018. Since 2016, the PhD prize is entitled Ioannis Vardoulakis PhD Prize to commemorate Prof. Vardoulakis and his contributions to research and teaching in the field of Geomechanics.
The participation to the prize is open to all the PhD students coming from institutions belonging to ALERT, that have discussed their PhD thesis in 2017. The deadline for the applications is 31st May, 2018. The application procedure has to be done completely online via the application form (the application period is over).
The rules, agenda and further details are to be found on the Alert website:

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.
