Position Description:
Postdoctoral Research Position in Geomechanics at the EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
The Laboratory for Soil Mechanics (LMS) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) is looking for a Postdoctoral research fellow working on design and predictive modeling of real scale experiments for nuclear waste disposal. The foreseen activities include the implementation of advanced constitutive models developed at the LMS in a FE code and the implementation of 3D FE computations to simulate the repository behaviour.
