Dear all,
We are readvertising an attractive PDRA post in computational geomechanics
at Durham (as the appointee dropped out). Closing date is MARCH 12th

Feel free to
contact me directly if you need further information.
Thanks
Charles Augarde
------
A Research Associate is required to work on an exciting project to
develop a novel numerical method for application in geotechnics and many
other areas of computational mechanics. The post will suit someone with
(or about to get) a PhD in civil or mechanical engineering or applied
maths.
The School of Engineering at Durham has a thriving group working on
computational techniques applied to civil and mechanical engineering,
particularly geotechnics. This post will assist on an exciting
EPSRC-funded project to develop and extend a fledgling numerical method.
The method to be developed is based on a combination of a meshless
method and a scaled boundary method and removes many of the drawbacks of
traditional finite element methods. The post will involve background
investigation of meshless and scaled boundary methods, coding in fortran
90/95 working from the existing Matlab implementation, testing and
finally validation on a challenging geotechnical problem.
The Associate will work closely with Dr Charles Augarde and Prof. Roger
Crouch at Durham, and with a Project Student to be appointed at the same
time. The Associate will also benefit from the input of two
international experts in computational mechanics who will be
collaborating. There is also the possibility of the Associate spending a
period working at UWA in Perth, Australia as part of the project. The
post will suit someone with a keen interest in programming, numerical
methods and geotechnics.
The post is subject to standard probationary terms. Further information
will be issued in the contract of employment.
