(Experienced Researchers)


The following 3 posts are advertised under GEO-INSTALL Marie Curie Industry-Academia Pathways and Partnerships project (PIAP-GA-2009-230638) sponsored by the European Community through the programme "People" 2009-2013. For more information on the project, contact minna.karstunen@strath.ac.uk or see http://geo-install.co.uk.

The salaries are based on standard Marie Curie rates (paid in GBP for Post 1 and in EUR for posts 2 & 3), subject to social, security, pension and tax deductions (of employer and employee). As these depend on individual circumstances, the net salaries will vary.

Special eligibility conditions apply for appointments under Marie Curie Actions1.

Please note that you need to apply for each position separately.
Deadline for applications is February 15, 2010.

1) Marie Curie Fellowship (ER) at the University of Strathclyde, UK
The topic for this position relates to constitutive modelling of rate-dependent behaviour of structured soft soils, in the context of FEM and MPM. If you need further information, please contact Dr Minna Karstunen (phone +44 141 548 3277 or email minna.karstunen@strath.ac.uk). For details in application, see http://soolin.mis.strath.ac.uk/vacancies/control/vacancyMenu.

2)Marie Curie Fellowship (ER) at the Delft University of Technology, NL
The project deals with the measurement and quantification of soil variability and computational modelling of soil variability using FEM. Persons interested in this position are requested to send their application letter + CV to Prof. Michael Hicks (M.A.Hicks@tudelft.nl).

3) Marie Curie Fellowship (ER) at Plaxis bv, NL
The project aims to develop regularisation techniques and/or adaptive remeshing to overcome mesh dependency and ill-posedness in FEM in conjunction with strain softening and liquefaction models. Persons interested in this position are requested to send their application letter + CV to Dr. Ronald Brinkgreve (vacancies@plaxis.nl).
