Applications are invited for a Dean of Engineering Prize in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham to work on the project “Development of a practical creep model for analysis of long-term deformation of earth embankments” led by Dr Mohammad Rezania. The successful candidate will be part of Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics (NCG) which has excellent laboratory and computational facilities and carries out research across key disciplines of geotechnical engineering. The project is aimed to further development, numerical implementation and experimental validation of a new constitutive model, based on non-stationary flow surface theory, to capture the delayed response of natural clay deposits under embankment loading.

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship to join the Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics (NCG) based in the Materials, Mechanics and Structures Research Division (Faculty of Engineering) of the University of Nottingham. The student will work in a dynamic research environment, as part of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, and will undertake research related to advanced experimental investigation of the long-term effect of environmental variations on the hydro-mechanical properties of natural soils in small strain (i.e. serviceability) domain.
