Post-Doctoral Position in Visco-plastic modeling of granular flows

• The Seismology Group at Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris is pleased to invite applications for the position of a postdoctoral researcher in numerical modeling of viscoplastic flows for an initial period of 1 year with the possibility of an extension. The successful applicant will develop a personal research profile in the field of mechanical behavior of granular materials. The objective is to compare numerical modeling of granular flows with existing laboratory experiments in order to develop models for further application to landslide simulation. The work will be at the interface between mechanics and geophysics thanks to the close collaboration with Ioan Ionescu at University Paris 13 and with François Bouchut, LAMA.

• Requested knowledge and skills:
Requirements for the position are a doctoral degree with experience in numerical modeling of granular (or viscoplastic) flows. Skills in advanced computing and programming would be appreciated.

• Salary and term:
Salary is in accordance with French public service rate (about 2600 euros/month). The position is scheduled starting from September 2014.

2-year Postdoctoral position in Modelling of the static/flowing transition in granular flows: application to erosion/deposition processes in natural landslides

• The Seismology Group at Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris is pleased to invite applications for the position of a postdoctoral researcher for a period of 2 years in numerical modeling of the static/flowing transition in granular flows for application to erosion/deposition processes in natural landslides. The successful applicant will develop a personal research profile in the field of numerical modeling of geophysical flows and mechanical behavior of granular material, with implication in natural hazard. The objective is to develop accurate mathematical and numerical models describing the transition between flow and no-flow within granular materials, that can be applied to simulate real flows over complex topography.

• Requested knowledge and skills:
RRequirements for the position are a doctoral degree with experience in numerical modeling of complex fluids (e. g. granular materials, two-phase flows, visco-plastic fluids, etc.). Skills in advanced computing and programming would be appreciated.

• Salary and term:
Salary is in accordance with French public service rate (about 2600 euros/month). The position is scheduled starting from May 2014.
