Attached is an announcement for faculty positions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Geotechnical Engineering and Smart Infrastructure. Faculty rank is open.
Following the previous W(H)YDOC workshops organised in Paris (2002, 2005, 2008, 2012), the scope of W(H)YDOC 15 is to bring together young doctors in geomechanics within an informal three days invited Workshop to allow for the presentation of the researches carried out during their PhD thesis.
The workshop is aimed at favouring informal and constructive exchanges about recent research results and ideas. No specific research topics are suggested, in order to highlight the variety of the researches presently carried out in the invited universities. The number of contributions has been limited so as to allow for individual presentations and discussions of all contributions.
In 2015, 18 selected PhD students from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA will present their work.
The W(H)YDOC 2015 Prize will be given to the best presentation made during the workshop.
Any interested person is warmly encouraged to attend the Workshop. Participation to the workshop is free but registration is mandatory.
Further information are provided on the website of W(H)YDOC 2015.
The presentations of the ALERT workshop 2015 are now available online.
The University of California at Davis (UC Davis) has opened a search for a new tenure-track position in Geotechnical Engineering at the Assistant Professor level. A detailed position description is attached. The position is open until filled, but to ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 15, 2016.
The invited ALERT Special Lecture during the ALERT Workshop 2016 will be presented by Prof. Takashi Matsushima from University of Tsukuba, Japan. The envisaged title of his talk is Planetary geomechanics.
Duke University has a multi area opening that includes geomechanics, among others. The preference in that area is on “coupled problems in geomechanics with application to energy production, energy storage, hazardous/nuclear waste storage/disposal, and environmental protection”. Note, that applications that bridge two or more of the areas mentioned in the link and which entail cross-departmental collaborations are particularly encouraged. For more details see the link.
Three fully funded projects are available at the University of Western Australia to students who wish to complete their PhD in offshore geotechnical engineering. Mored details can be found in the attached pdf flyer.
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is opening multiple tenure-track faculty positions. Please see the announcement attached for more details.
The 6th European Geosynthetics Congress will take place in Istanbul 25-28 September 2016. The deadline to submit an abstract is 30th October 2015. Detailed information is available at http://www.eurogeo6.org/.
The presentations of the ALERT Doctoral School 2015 on Coupled and Multiphysics Phenomena are now available online. This year’s Doctoral School in Aussois was organised by Bernhard Schrefler, Lorenzo Sanavia and Frédéric Collin. The accompanying book of the Doctoral School can be downloaded here.
