Two PhD positions are available at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) in collaboration with Stanford University (US) on (1) developing technologies for sealing leaky wells and (2) Investigation of multiphase fluid flow within heterogeneous sandstones using high resolution X-Ray CT scanning. For more details please see attached pdf1 and pdf2.
A PhD position on hydromechanical modeling of claystone behavior is available at INERIS (French Centre for Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection) in Nancy, France in collaboration with GeoRessources laboratory (University of Lorraine) and ANDRA (French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management).
For more details see the attached pdf file.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts for the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 2016 (27th Edition) has been extended up to May 31, 2016!
Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc, odt, pdf). Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The abstracts of the posters will be published in a separate booklet (ISSN registered).
A full time position for a researcher with interests in granular physics, geomechanics, continuum mechanics, computer modelling and the discrete element methods (DEM) is available at the University of Twente (Netherlands), to work on DEM modelling of wave propagation in granular materials.

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.
The 8th ALERT Olek Zienkiewicz Course (ALERT Summerschool) on “Geomechanics of landslides” will be held at the University of Salerno from the 5th to the 9th of September 2016. This year, the OZ course will be jointly held with the LARAM school (LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation).
Information on the OZ course can be found on the LARAM website. The deadline for the registration is the 15th of June 2016, the deadline for the bank transfer is the 1st of July 2016. Please use the registration form.
2016 Gordon Research Conference on Granular Matter – Particulate Systems in Science and Technology will take place on July 24-29, 2016 at Stonehill College, Easton, MA, United States, see http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=13053.
