The laboratory for Soil Mechanics (LMS) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL) is looking for 3 PhD candidates in the area of geo-technical engineering and environmental geotechnics for the project BIOGEOS (BIO-mediated GEO-material Strengthening). The project is supported by an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council, awarded to Prof. Lyesse Laloui.
A PhD position is open at the 3SR Laboratory in Grenoble (France). Title: Effect of varying temperature and degree of saturation on soils THM behaviour: application to energy geostructures.
The project is mainly experimental and aims to investigate the thermal behaviour of unsaturated soils. More details can be found in the attached document. Interested and highly motivated candidates should send their application (including CV, motivation letter and master grades) to alice.didonna@3sr-grenoble.fr
See the attached document for more information.
3 PhD positions are available in an interdisciplinary research project on “integrated Risk Managments” at the Univ. Grenoble-Alpes University . You can find information on the Idex-Risk@univ.Grenoble-Alpes project on the project website.
This is the fourth quadrennial international symposium organized under the auspices of Technical Committee 105 (Geo-Mechanics from Micro to Macro) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). As with these previous events, this symposium seeks to advance the objectives of TC 105 to: promote co-operation and exchange of information about the behavior of soil grains and granular interactions; promote improved modeling of soil aggregates; encourage a micro-structural understanding of significant macroscopic behavior; facilitate discussion on the use of micro-structural measurements to enhance soil characterization procedures; and clarify the selection and use of continuum parameters in geotechnical engineering practice: website

The goal of this project is to investigate the multi-scale behaviour of clay rock, going from microscopic to macroscopic scale. The research will be based on multi-scale
approach and numerical method allowing to model microstructure media in a double-scale framework (FEMxFEM). The PhD position is available at iMMC (UCL) in collaboration with the 3SR Laboratory (P. Bésuelle, CNRS, UGA).
Applications should be submitted by the 30th of April 2018 by emailing a CV and their academic grades (detail of marks) to the supervisor Benoît Pardoen.
