Description:
Based in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol, you will be a highly motivated individual to fill a new post-doctoral research position in Micromechanics of Seismic wave propogation in granular materials.
You will have responsibility for developing modifications to an existing true triaxial apparatus, completing a series of particle scale characterization tests and comparing the small strain response as measured in a series of static and dynamic element tests on several non-cohesive granular materials.

The research project is a collaboration between the University of Bristol and Imperial College and the testing at Bristol will need to be carefully coordinated with numerical analyses being performed at Imperial College.

If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience, in line with the University’s Fixed Term Contract Agreement.
