The School of Civil and Resource Engineering and Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at The University of Western Australia has a friendly and vibrant research environment and an internationally-leading research reputation in offshore geotechnics. Applications are invited from suitably qualified postdoctoral researchers to work on an ARC funded project on the analysis of offshore foundations with large penetration into multilayered soils.

The focus of this project is to (i) develop a numerical tool for large deformation finite element (LDFE) analysis of foundations on multilayered soils, including sand layers, by extending the existing LDFE model that can deal with multilayered clays, (ii) use this tool to analysis and explore the behaviour of deeply penetrating foundations such as jack-up spudcans, (iii) calibrate and validate the numerical modelling using centrifuge testing and (iv) derive new procedures for practical design. The project will involve experimental and numerical work. and will draw together researchers with strong track records in computational geomechanics and geotechnical centrifuge modelling. It will be supervised by Professor Yuxia Hu, Professor Mark Cassidy and Professor David White. A PhD in Geotechnical Engineering or a related discipline is essential. This position is available immediately. Some assistance with relocation expenses (if applicable) may be negotiated.

For further information regarding the position please contact Professor Yuxia Hu on +61 8 6488 8182 or email hu@civil.uwa.edu.au.

Closing Date: 24 September 2010

Ecological Economics Research New Zealand (EERNZ) is a research centre at Massey University with four full-time researchers, an administrator and five PhD students (www.eernz.ac.nz). Our focus is on Sustainability Science through applied, policy relevant, trans-disciplinary research.

EERNZ is looking for a system dynamics modeller with quantitative research skills to enhance the team of researchers and our external collaborators working on funded projects in the areas of: 1. Urban Sustainability; 2. Coastal Ecosystem Services; 3. Freshwater Ecosystem Services (see www.eernz.ac.nz). A PhD in an area of research relevant to Ecological Economics is required. Two of the current projects involve a close collaboration with Maori communities. Experience in multi-cultural settings is important. Demonstrated experience using systems dynamics software (STELLA, Vensim, or relevant modelling software) is required. Beyond model building, the tasks are varied and require the ability to work both independently and in a team, as well as across disciplines. The applied nature of this position requires an affinity for action research. Some travel within New Zealand is required. Responsibilities will include literature review, report writing and (co-)authoring publications. The successful candidate will provide system dynamics modelling capacity within EERNZ, assist with teaching, develop new collaborative research projects and, after a start-up period, provide Science Leadership capacity.
