X IAGIG, Pisa, 3-4 Settembre 2021
A causa dell’emergenza sanitaria, l’anno scorso è stato necessario rinviare la X edizione dell’Incontro Annuale dei Giovani Ingegneri Geotecnici (IAGIG). Il comitato organizzatore è fiducioso di poter riorganizzare IAGIG a Pisa venerdì 3 e sabato 4 Settembre 2021.
Tutti i giovani ingegneri sono invitati a partecipare inviando anche un proprio contributo tecnico da redigere secondo il template scaricabile qui e inviare a iagig@associazionegeotecnica.
IAGIG è un’iniziativa intesa a promuovere la discussione di argomenti di ingegneria geotecnica e favorire uno scambio di esperienze e conoscenze tra giovani ingegneri, interessati alle problematiche geotecniche, attivi sia in ambito professionale (liberi professionisti, dipendenti di enti pubblici o di imprese, collaboratori presso studi professionali, giovani imprenditori del settore, etc.) sia nel contesto accademico.
I temi centrali dell’incontro riguardano principalmente gli aspetti, tradizionali ed innovativi, della progettazione, esecuzione e controllo di opere di ingegneria geotecnica, come: monitoraggio e controllo di opere geotecniche; Geotecnica sismica; Geotecnica ambientale; case histories e lessons learnt; indagini in sito e di laboratorio; interventi di miglioramento e rinforzo; stabilità dei pendii; ingegneria dei geosintetici; modellazione numerica e fisica dei terreni e delle rocce

Postdoctoral Position in Geomechanical Modeling at Northwestern University (USA)
A postdoctoral position on Landslide Geomechanics is available at Northwestern University (Illinois, USA). The selected candidate will join the Geomechanical Modeling group at Northwestern University, working under the supervision of Dr. Giuseppe Buscarnera on a project aimed at explaining the dynamics of landslide initiation and rapid post-failure movement. The position involves a one-year appointment, with the possibility of a contract extension for a second year. Competitive salary, exposure to a dynamic international environment, and opportunities for professional development will be key components of the position.
For all inquiries, please contact Dr. Giuseppe Buscarnera (email: g-buscarnera@northwestern.edu).
Postdoctoral Position in geotechnical earthquake engineering at Université Gustave Eiffel (France)
A postdoctoral position is open at Université Gustave Eiffel, France. The project will focus on Centrifuge Modelling of soft soil reinforced by rigid inclusions subjected to seismic loading. The post-doctoral researcher will carry out experimental studies on the soil-rigid inclusion-superstructure interaction taking into account several highlighted factors.
