Postdoctoral position in ‘Theoretical and computational geomechanics with application to mineral carbon storage’ – University of Minnesota
A postdoctoral position in theoretical and computational geomechanics in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo- Engineering, University of Minnesota is available immediately. The postdoctoral fellow will be assisting with the development of models of propagating cracks driven by reactive fluids, considering dissolution and precipitation mechanisms, and will be conducting numerical simulations to assess the evolution of the transport properties of a fractured porous rock caused by injection of a reactive fluid. The initial appointment is for one year and is renewable for up to four years. Applicants should submit a statement of interest, career goals, 2-page CV, and the names and contact information of three references. Inquiries and applications should be sent by email to Emmanuel Detournay (detou001@umn.edu) and Joseph Labuz (jlabuz@umn.edu).

SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN OPENSEES: strategies, applications and perspectives – Winter school, 7-10 February 2023
OpenSees è un ambiente numerico open source rivolto alla valutazione della prestazione delle opere civili nei confronti dei rischi naturali. In particolare, il crescente sviluppo di OpenSees nel campo dell’interazione terreno-struttura lo rende particolarmente adatto per approcci multidisciplinari. Una piattaforma che soddisfa l’esigenza di considerare le caratteristiche dominanti dell’interazione terreno-struttura nella previsione e controllo della dinamica strutturale. Un workshop di quattro giorni per esplorare le basi e le applicazioni avanzate della modellazione terreno-struttura in OpenSees, concentrandosi sulle criticità dell’implementazione e discutendo possibili soluzioni con riferimento a rilevanti problemi applicativi. Un punto di incontro per interagire nel vasto mondo della dinamica dei sistemi terreno-struttura, per condividere esperienze e indicare nuovi orizzonti. Maggiori informazioni sui contenuti e sugli scopi del workshop e sulle modalità di partecipazione in questo flyer e in questa brochure.
