MSc opening in Geomechanics, Rock Mechanics, and Geohazard Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in Malaysia

Postdoctoral opening at Delft University of Technology for research on monitoring thermally induced seismic events . The project focuses on seismic wave fields , their mechanics, and related seismic processing and inversion methods. Experience with finite-difference wave-equation solvers such as SeisSol or SPECFEM3D is highlighted as a plus. The post is shared by Anne Pluymakers (Associate Professor, Rock and Fault Mechanics for the Energy Transition) and mentions collaboration with Guy Drijkoni...

Jonathan Hubler, Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University, is recruiting multiple graduate students for MS or PhD study starting in Spring or Summer 2027. The research area is coastal geotechnics , making this a strong fit for students interested in civil engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, earth science, and related coastal infrastructure problems. This is a research-group opening rather than a scholarship...

Yichuan Zhu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Temple University, is recruiting one fully funded PhD student for the Laboratory for Sensing, Imaging, and Geomechanics Analysis (SIGMA). The project focuses on the mechanical behavior of geomaterials at the micro- and nano-scales, with research combining laboratory testing, advanced imaging, and computational analysis. This is a strong fit for students interested in geomechanics, geotechnical engineerin...

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...
