A novel rate-dependent elasto-viscoplastic macroelement will be developed and validated against both centrifuge test results and FE simulations, enabling a fast and accurate evaluation of the rate-dependent performance of suction anchors at the structural level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are seeking motivated candidates with a solid background in geotechnical engineering. A strong interest in constitutive modeling is highly appreciated, and experience with FEM modeling using Abaqus is preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application deadline: 8 April, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact: Dr. Zheng LI: zheng.li@univ-eiffel.fr; Dr. Matthieu Blanc: matthieu.blanc@univ-eiffel.fr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please see the attached PDF file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PhD-Opportunity_Univ_Eiffel_suction_anchor_in_clay_v0_ALERT-ae5f6e7709e5381c9168bf9071df5294.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of PhD-Opportunity_Univ_Eiffel_suction_anchor_in_clay_v0_ALERT-ae5f6e7709e5381c9168bf9071df5294.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-65c2bb4b-e887-4f14-bd3f-930d8c37f197\" href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PhD-Opportunity_Univ_Eiffel_suction_anchor_in_clay_v0_ALERT-ae5f6e7709e5381c9168bf9071df5294.pdf\">PhD-Opportunity_Univ_Eiffel_suction_anchor_in_clay_v0_ALERT-ae5f6e7709e5381c9168bf9071df5294<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PhD-Opportunity_Univ_Eiffel_suction_anchor_in_clay_v0_ALERT-ae5f6e7709e5381c9168bf9071df5294.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-65c2bb4b-e887-4f14-bd3f-930d8c37f197\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PhD position in offshore engineering is open at Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, Nantes Campus, France. https:\/\/cg.univ-gustave-eiffel.fr\/en\/ This PhD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[265],"class_list":["post-1080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scholarship","tag-offshore-engineering"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080","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=1080"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1083,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080\/revisions\/1083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarshipidea.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
