Dear Colleagues
I am writing to inform that a number of doctoral and post-doctoral
vacancies are now available at various European universities within the
project MUSE (Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils for Engineering). This
project is a "Marie Curie" Research Training Network funded by the
European Commission, which is due to start on the 1st December 2004 and
will last for a period of 4 years. The Network will involve 6 academic
members and 5 industrial associated partners across Europe and will
undertake an extensive programme of cooperative research about the
engineering behaviour of unsaturated soils ranging from laboratory
testing to numerical/constitutive modelling and field applications. An
important characteristic of the project is to provide training to early
stage researchers, who will work alongside experienced researchers at
each participating institution and will take part in a programme of
secondments and visits across the Network. For further details please
visit http://muse.dur.ac.uk .
A list of the first vacancies available within the MUSE Network is
appended to this message. I invite those interested in applying to
download the full advertising document from the website
http://muse.dur.ac.uk (under "Job Opportunities") where it will be
possible to find further details of each vacancy including scientific
objectives, eligibility rules, financial information, required
qualifications/experience and contact details for application/enquiries.
