Two doctoral students (soil mechanics / geotechnics) at Charles University in Prague, Czechia
We are looking for two highly motivated doctoral students for our 4-year doctoral programme at Charles University in Prague.
The successful candidates must hold a master’s degree in engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, or equivalent subjects.
Deadline for applications: 15 April 2025
Start date: 1 October 2025
Send your resume & motivation letter to gianvito.scaringi@natur.cuni.cz
Position 1. Effect of temperature on the engineering behaviour of geomaterials
Supervisor: Dr. Gianvito Scaringi
Required experience/skills: coding of constitutive models of geomaterials, and/or thermo-hydromechanical numerical modelling of geomaterials (e.g., Plaxis, Comsol, Geostudio), and/or experience in a soil mechanics laboratory conducting advanced experiments (e.g., unsaturated and/or cyclic/dynamic triaxial, thermal oedometer or triaxial, CRS oedometer, ring shear), and/or fieldwork experience with energy geostructures.
Position 2. Numerical modelling of soil cyclic behaviour
Supervisor: Prof. David Masin
Required experience/skills: deep understanding of advanced constitutive models of soils (ideally, knowledge of hypoplasticity) as well as programming skills (mainly C++ and Fortran) and knowledge of ABAQUS, OpenGeoSys, and Plaxis.
Further details are provided in the flyer.

Post-doctoral position on Anchors Sharing in centrifuge at the Gustave Eiffel University, Nantes, France
France Energies Marines institute (and the Gustave Eiffel University) are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate for 18 months in “geotechnical engineering: physical and numerical modelling”. The physical modelling aspect consists in performing an experimental campaign in centrifuge on the anchors multidirectional loading. The second part is about the numerical modelling of the centrifuge tests. The application deadline is 31st October 2022. Applicants must be available to start around the very beginning of 2023. More details about the offer and the application procedure here.
ALERT Workshop (27-29 September 2021) and School (30 September – 2 October 2021)
ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 27th September to 29th September
ALERT Doctoral School 30th September to 2nd October
Aussois, France (or online)
The preliminary programme of the ALERT Doctoral School 2021 (link) in Aussois/online is now available. Be aware that changes can still occur. The programme of the Workshop (link) will follow soon.
Information and the link to the registration script can be found here.
As sanitary conditions are improving, it was decided to propose you two alternatives for your registration to the workshop and doctoral school: either you can come and participate in Aussois, or you can attend those remotely. Don’t worry, your choice can always be modified later on, as the sanitary conditions may change. As a reminder, the restrictions for entering France will depend on your country of departure and your vaccination status.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Offshore Foundation Systems at Durham University (UK)
The Department of Engineering at Durham University (UK) is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Offshore Foundation Systems position. The postdoctoral researcher will work on a British Council funded project entitled “Floating hybrid renewable energy systems in Turkey”. This project aims to develop a design for hybrid floating wind turbine solar energy foundation systems. The project involves collaboration with the Middle East Technical University and industry partners in Turkey. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out advanced numerical simulations to predict the response of the foundations and the anchorage systems.
The employment contract will be up to 16/02/2023 (about 23 months). The deadline for the application is 22 April 2021. More details can be found at:
