Job Summary:
This exciting research opportunity focuses on integrating geotechnical and geophysical testing methods to develop a comprehensive approach for assessing landslide risk in urban environments.
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to undertake a fully funded PhD project. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with our team, collaborating on advanced site investigation techniques and numerical simulations.
Key Responsibilities:
* Conduct fieldwork, including Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), to obtain high-resolution data
* Develop detailed three-dimensional subsurface profiles of unstable urban slopes
* Integrate geotechnical and geophysical data into advanced numerical simulations to assess landslide mechanisms and slope deformation
Requirements:
* Strong background in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, geophysics, earth sciences, or environmental science
* Experience or strong interest in fieldwork, particularly in geotechnical or geophysical site investigation
About the University:
We are renowned for our commitment to high-quality research and its strong focus on real-world impact. Our team provides a collaborative and supportive research environment, world-class supervision, and opportunities to connect with industry and government partners.
