PhD in Coastal Cliff Instability Under Extreme Weather Conditions Imperial College London in United Kingdom

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...

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...

PhD opportunity in Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Regina for Fall 2027 intake . The opening is centered on research in unsaturated soils and mine tailing , with topic options including advanced laboratory testing of unsaturated soils , advanced numerical modeling of unsaturated soils , and characterization and improvement of mine tailing . This is a student-oriented research opening for applicants interested in civil/geotechnical engineering and related earth and environmental top...

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 opportunity in climate change and air pollution at the University of Edinburgh , School of Geosciences. The role is part of two UKRI-funded hubs: INHABIT (Indoor HABItability during the Transition to Net Zero Housing Hub) and HEARTH (National Hub on Net Zero, Health and Extreme Heat). The successful researcher will contribute to interdisciplinary work on outdoor air quality , outdoor-indoor exposures and health , emissions scenarios and interventions , co-development of an indoor he...
