Post-doc position on mechanical and hydrological processes in soil at Westlake University
Introduction of The Lab/ Research Field: Dr. Lei’s research on porous media features temperature, pressure and stress control, pore-scale insights based on micro-CT technique integrated with conventional testing, multi-physics experiments and theoretical analysis. Targeted areas include: (1) particulate material and porous media under abnormal conditions and their interaction with pore constituents; (2) energy, marine, and resource geo-engineering; (3) permafrost and outer space sediments; (4) natural gas hydrates and their hosting sediments; (5) massive energy storage; and (6) multi-phase flow and crystallization in porous media.
Job Description: Position: Postdoctoral fellow; Requirements: 1) To work on mechanical and hydrological properties of soil under various conditions, experimentalist preferred; 2) Have obtained or expect to obtain shortly the PhD degree in water resources, geotechnical engineering, earth science, geophysics, or related disciplines; 3) Age under 35; 4) Geo-mechanical and/or hydrological experiences preferred; 5) Good track academic record.
Compensation and Benefits: The research team offers a competitive compensation package commensurate with the selected candidate’s qualifications and experience. Applications for relevant projects and programs will be encouraged and supported.
How to Apply: To apply, please send resume, representative papers and any other relevant materials as PDF files to leiliang@westlake.edu.cn, and indicate the Post-doc application in the subject.

Call for projects GEOLAB – Cambridge University
Dear Colleagues,
GEOLAB is an European network of renowned institutes bringing together six geo-centrifuges and six other large research facilities: a geo-model container, a pile foundation test pit, a static liquefaction tank, a railway track simulator, a large-scale triaxial apparatus and a set of field test sites. The overarching aim of GEOLAB is perform ground-breaking research & innovation that enhances the resilience of Europe’s Critical Infrastructure.
GEOLAB has just launched its First Call for Proposals to potential users among academia, SME and industry to gain access to excellent research facilities in the fields of geotechnical and environmental engineering. This so-called Transnational Access is free of charge and includes technical & scientific support from the hosting facility. This can be of high interest to you, offering the opportunity to test and validate innovative solutions for infrastructure and ageing.
In the upcoming webinar, “An Introduction to GEOLAB’s Geotechnical Research Facilities and How to Apply for Access”, the project partners will present GEOLAB’s research infrastructures and the call for proposals mechanisms. The event will take place on June 23rd at 10 AM CET.
