Here are some clarifications:
(1) Applicants do not need to have English Language Proficiency test results at the time of applying. However, they need to have this before they could start a PhD.
(2) Salary range is approx £31k to £35k per annum, which is over double that of a normal PhD studentship in the UK.
(3) Deadline 01 October, 2018.
Advanced course on Coupled processes in fracture propagation in Geo-Materials: from hydraulic fracture to earthquakes
We are delightled to announce an advanced summer course on hydraulic fracture & earthquake mechanics which will be held at CISM (The international center for mechanical science) in Udine, Italy from June 10 to 14, 2019.
This summer course targets graduate students, engineers as well as researchers interested in recent advances in the mechanical modeling of both fluid-driven fractures and earthquakes.
(Due 30th November, 2018) Call for Nominations for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
