Postdoc position in geomechanics at ENTPE-LTDS (Lyon, France)
Multi-scale behaviour and damage of heterogeneous rocks around underground excavations.
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). Applications are welcome from PhDs graduated in the areas of civil, mechanical, and materials engineering, or geosciences. PhDs in geomechanics / geotechnics are mostly welcome.
Applications should be submitted before the end of April 2020. Contact: Benoît Pardoen (benoit.pardoen@entpe.fr). —> Link to description
Post-doc position at the Mechanics and Energy Laboratory of Northwestern University
The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory (MEL) of Northwestern University (Illinois, USA) is welcoming applications for a post-doctoral research position.
The MEL develops research activities addressing fundamental and applied problems centered on the mechanics of geomaterials and structural systems. The ultimate goal of these activities is to develop competence serving the achievement of efficient energy harvesting and storage applications, the development of resilient structures and infrastructures, the prevention or mitigation of natural hazards, and the establishment of built environments that can adapt their features to meet human activity needs.
The selected post-doctoral researcher will push the current knowledge boundaries about the multiphysical properties and behavior of geomaterials subjected to electrical current flows, by means of experimental laboratory investigations and coupled theoretical analyses, from the microscopic to the macroscopic scales.
Please contact Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria (af-rottaloria@northwestern.edu) for more information about this position and the MEL. This call closes on February 25th, 2020.
Further information on this position can be found in the attached document.
Postdoc position at Delft University of Technology-Centrifuge modelling of cyclic soil-monopile interaction
Applications are welcome for a 2-year postdoc position to investigate the cyclic soil-monopile interaction using geotechnical centrifuge. The successful candidate will investigate the cyclic behaviour of small-scale monopile models in sandy soil, both dry and saturated, using two geotechnical centrifuge facilities at TU Delft and Deltares. Candidates should possess a PhD degree in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering or related areas, proven experience in geotechnical centrifuge testing, preferably including soil-structure interaction problems and cyclic loading, and excellent knowledge of soil mechanics and foundation engineering.

For more information about this vacancy please contact Dr. Amin Askarinejad: A.Askarinejad@tudelft.nl, or Dr. Federico Pisanò: F.Pisano@tudelft.nl.
The closing date for the applications is February 1st, 2020.
30° Convegno Nazionale Geosintetici, Bologna, 22 Ottobre 2020
La trentesima edizione del Convegno Nazionale Geosintetici, organizzata dalla Sezione Italiana dell’International Geosynthetics Society (AGI-IGS), si terrà a Bologna il 22 ottobre 2020 nel tradizionale ambito SAIE e sarà dedicata al tema “Prestazioni dei materiali e delle opere”. Il convegno vuole celebrare l’ormai consolidato ruolo dei geosintetici nell’ingegneria moderna con un programma scientifico incentrato sulle prestazioni dei materiali e delle opere, attraverso contributi che mettano in luce il ruolo della comunità scientifica italiana pioniera della ricerca nel binomio Geosintetici-Geotecnica.
Scadenza presentazione abstract: 10 Gennaio 2020

Special session on ‘Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering’ at IPW2020, Guimarães (Portugal)
Participants are welcome to submit abstracts for a special session during the 18th International Probabilistic Workshop, to be held at University of Minho in Guimarães (Portugal) on September 23-25, 2020. This special session strives to highlight recent advances in geotechnical reliability and thereby to further advance the uptake of reliability methods in practical applications.
More information can be found in the attached pdf (link). Please visit the workshop website for the latest updates on submission deadlines (https://ipw2020.com).
Two Post-doctoral researcher opportunities at the University of Nottingham (UK)
The Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics (NCG) is currently undertaking two large multi-disciplinary projects related to investigating the behaviour of made-ground consisting of coal-mining spoil. NCG brings together expertise from the worlds of civil, geotechnical, and mining engineering as well as mathematics and material sciences to solve all forms of soil and rock-related design and construction problems. The projects are funded by the European Commission Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) and include project partners from across Europe.
The NCG is looking to recruit two post-doctoral researchers who will support the work of these RFCS projects as well as support the wider work of the research group. Although the NCG will consider any candidate with a strong fundamental geotechnical background, they are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with element testing, numerical modelling (FEA/FDM) or centrifuge modelling.
Candidates will have a first degree in Civil Engineering or cognate subject and will have been awarded a PhD (or have submitted their thesis for examination), ideally in an area of Geotechnical Engineering. The successful candidate will have good presentation and report writing skills. A good publication record will be an advantage but its absence should not hinder applications from those who have recently submitted their theses.
