Fully Funded PhD in Geomechanics and Geomaterials at Temple University Temple University in United States

Funded PhD project at Abertay University in collaboration with the University of Dundee on the thermomechanical behaviour of energy piles under complex loading conditions . The project sits at the intersection of civil engineering , geotechnical engineering , environmental science , and shallow geothermal energy , with a strong focus on energy geostructures , ground source heat pumps , and low-carbon heating for net-zero infrastructure. The research aims to understand and measure the thermomecha...

Enrique M. del Castillo, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University, is recruiting up to two fully funded Ph.D. students. The positions are for research in computational geomechanics and fracture mechanics , with a planned start in Fall 2027 and the possibility of an earlier Spring 2027 start. This is a strong fit for students interested in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, earth science, and materials science topics related t...
