PhD and Postdoc positions in Infrastructure Geotechnics at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
The Geotechnics research group in Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, is looking for PhD students and Postdoctoral Researchers in Infrastructure Geotechnics (max. two positions each). The applicants are expected to be passionate about introducing/developing the state-of-the-art of modelling and testing of coupled processes (thermo-hydro-mechanical) into geotechnical engineering. The current research projects in infrastructure geotechnics include application of deep mixing under road and railway embankments and bottom support of excavations, as well as modelling natural and man-made slopes etc. These are problems where the coupling of mechanical, hydraulic and thermal response, as well as soil-structure interaction, is important. The applicants are expected to engage with industry, to create innovative solutions for major stakeholders. In parallel with research, the applicants are expected to contribute to teaching at undergraduate or Masters level (typically max. 10%-20% of their time), with focus on Geotechnical Engineering. The positions are temporary research positions (4-5 years for PhD, 2 years for Postdoc), fully funded by external research projects.

Giornata di Studio su Piante e Geotecnica – Università di Parma, 13 marzo 2019
Il 13 marzo p.v., presso l’Università di Parma, si terrà una giornata di studio sul tema “Piante e Geotecnica – Prerogative e limiti dell’impiego della vegetazione nel rinforzo dei terreni”.
La giornata di studio ha l’obiettivo di fare il punto sui possibili impieghi delle tecniche naturalistiche nell’ambito dell’ingegneria geotecnica e di stimolare l’interesse scientifico su una tematica sempre più diffusa nel mondo, ma ad oggi ancora poco praticata in ambito geotoecnico. La giornata coinvolgerà ricercatori sia del settore dell’ingegneria agraria e forestale che dell’ingegneria geotecnica. Dopo un’iniziale introduzione sull’ingegneria naturalistica e sullo stato dell’arte delle tecniche naturalistiche nell’ingegneria geotecnica, il focus degli interventi verterà sul ruolo specifico della vegetazione nell’ambito delle tematiche geotecniche in cui il suo impiego appare più promettente ovvero la stabilità dei pendii naturali ed artificiali in condizioni statiche e sismiche.
