- PHD POSITION AT UNIVERSITY OF PORTSMOUTH (UK)
Engineering solutions for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste requires a challenging combination of knowledge: on one hand, how structures such as tunnels and caverns within a rock mass modify the local/regional stress state, and on the other hand,how these structures respond to in-situ stresses over century to millennium timescales. Applications are invited for a fully-funded (3 years, 8 months) PhD to commence in 1st February 2023, hosted in the Rock Mechanics Laboratory, School of Environment, Geosciences & Geography at the University of Portsmouth. More information in this flyer or on this website.
