Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Geotechnical & Geosystems Engineering at EPFL
The EPFL School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) invites applications for an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) of Geotechnical & Geosystems Engineering in the Institute of Civil Engineering. Topics of interest cover fundamental research in mechanics of geomaterials and applications to sustainable design of geosystems and geotechnical structures. More information, and details on how to apply can be found here.
Post-doc position at the Mechanics and Energy Laboratory of Northwestern University
The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory (MEL) of Northwestern University (Illinois, USA) is welcoming applications for a post-doctoral research position.
The MEL develops research activities addressing fundamental and applied problems centered on the mechanics of geomaterials and structural systems. The ultimate goal of these activities is to develop competence serving the achievement of efficient energy harvesting and storage applications, the development of resilient structures and infrastructures, the prevention or mitigation of natural hazards, and the establishment of built environments that can adapt their features to meet human activity needs.
The selected post-doctoral researcher will push the current knowledge boundaries about the multiphysical properties and behavior of geomaterials subjected to electrical current flows, by means of experimental laboratory investigations and coupled theoretical analyses, from the microscopic to the macroscopic scales.
Please contact Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria (af-rottaloria@northwestern.edu) for more information about this position and the MEL. This call closes on February 25th, 2020.
Further information on this position can be found in the attached document.
