POSEIDON - Improve offshore infrastructure resilience against geohazards towards a changing climate
The Doctoral Network POSEIDON funded by the European Union in the frame of the Marie-Skłodowska-Curie programme offers at the earliest possible date an

**Identification number: A119-24**

for the duration of 36 months but max. until 29th February of 2028 (in accordance with - 2 WisszeitVG),

in the area of sedimentology and geophysics particularly image analyses in the frame of the project

**Micro-structural characteristics of failure planes and weak layers - new insights from (4D) µCT measurements combined with geotechnical testing (DC5).**

Stellenbeschreibung

**Project Description**:
Submarine landslides are among the most important marine geohazards that threaten increasingly populated coastal regions and critical offshore infrastructure. Although in the focus of research, there is still a clear lack in understanding failure mechanisms, which ultimately trigger these landslides. Nowadays, the weak layer concept, i.e. failure planes of submarine landslides coinciding with mechanically weaker layers embedded within the slope stratigraphy, is commonly accepted. These weak layers are typically associated with material inhomogeneities, such as alternating sequences of clay with sand or highly porous fossiliferous layers. Liquefaction or particle breakage under loading (from e.g. earthquakes) along such sediment sequences can cause pore pressure fluctuations and subsequent failure. Although many studies exist, the characteristics of weak layers and the failure mechanisms that ultimately lead to failure are still poorly understood.

We are searching for an enthusiastic and dynamic early career researcher who is interested in joining a multidisciplinary research team. Very good written and oral English language skills are required because the studies will be carried out in an international programme. The applicant is expected to visit partners from the POSEIDON consortium for extended secondments of up to approximately six months and will have to participate in joint network-wide training activities, e.g. our joint annual workshop.

Voraussetzungen
- Completed academic university degree (Master's/University Diploma) in Geology, Geotechnics, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Geoinformatics, or related fields;
- Basic knowledge of image analysing techniques, sedimentology, geotechnics or related topics;
- Outstanding drafting and presentation skills, with an eye for detail;
- Very good written and oral English skills, as the project is carried out in an international programme;
- Skills in scientific computing (preferably in Python or MATLAB), image analysis and processing, as well as in data visualisation (e.g. using MATLAB) would be advantageous.
