The model will be trained using data from numerical simulations based on the<br>previously described 3D model. It is intended to support decision-making in the preliminary design stage<br>by offering fast computations suitable for sensitivity analyses.<br>To postulate, please send your cover letter and CV to the supervisors indicated below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denis BRANQUE \u2013 Senior Researcher &#8211; University of Lyon, ENTPE, LTDS &#8211; UMR CNRS 5513,<br>Vaulx-en-Velin, France \u2013 denis.branque@entpe.fr<br>Nicolas BERTHOZ \u2013 Head of the geotechnical division \u2013 French Centre for Tunnel Studies, Bron,<br>France \u2013 Nicolas.berthoz@developpement-durable.gouv.fr<br>Antoine RALLU \u2013 Researcher- ENTPE, LTDS &#8211; UMR CNRS 5513, antoine.rallu@entpe.fr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The objectives of this postdoctoral research are twofold:1) To improve understanding of pore pressure variations induced by pressurised<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1074"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1076,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1074\/revisions\/1076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
