MSc in Geological Engineering at Imperial College London Imperial College London in United Kingdom

Imperial College London is advertising a PhD project on coastal cliff instability due to extreme weather conditions , based in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in London, United Kingdom. The project investigates how climate change , extreme drying , and heatwaves may trigger coastal cliff failure, with a focus on the hydromechanical response of unsaturated coastal geomaterials (especially the Mercia Mudstone Group). The research combines advanced laboratory element testing wit...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Climate Resilience of Infrastructure to Rainfall (PGR-P-1395), supervised by Professor David Connolly in the School of Civil Engineering . This project focuses on how climate change-driven rainfall affects transport, geotechnical, and structural infrastructure. Research themes include rainfall-induced slope collapse, geotechnical instability, soil shrink-swell cycles, water ponding on roofs and bridge decks, structural overloading, drainage, and adap...

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Earthquake Nucleation at the University of Oxford, Department of Earth Sciences. This 24-month fixed-term postdoc focuses on how earthquakes nucleate, using advanced seismic data analysis, quantitative geophysics, and scientific modeling. The role also mentions collaborative field and laboratory research, making it a strong fit for candidates with interests in seismology, geophysics, Earth Science, and data-driven Earth processes. Funding/salary is listed at £4...

PhD in Soil Stabilisation and Ground Improvement at the University of Leeds in the School of Civil Engineering. This PhD focuses on geotechnical engineering , civil engineering , and sustainable ground improvement. The project explores eco-friendly alternatives to traditional carbon-heavy soil stabilizers such as cement, lime, and synthetic chemical grouts. Research themes include the use of industrial byproducts , polymers , and sustainable chemical additives to improve soil shear strength, red...

The University of Sheffield is offering a fully funded PhD investigating how forests can mitigate landslide runout and reduce risks to infrastructure. The project is supervised by Alessandro Leonardi and Dr Jill Johnson, in collaboration with Adrian Koe at AtkinsRéalis, and is supported through the EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award. The research will combine physics-based numerical simulations, machine learning and laboratory experiments to understand how forest structure and management affect the ...
