THE LABORATORY OF SOIL MECHANICS AT THE EPFL
The Laboratory of Soil Mechanics (LMS) is one of the laboratories within the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). The LMS focuses its research activities in the field of geotechnical engineering with a focus on the protection from geo-hazards and industrial damage to the environment, landforms and structures. In addition to the conventional topics such as soil-structure interactions, slope stability and foundation design, our experimental and modelling resources are mobilised to understand, describe and predict the environmental impact of the technologies of future days (bio-improved soils, nuclear waste disposal, CO2 geological sequestration, and energy technologies related to heat storage and extraction). The LMSis directed by Prof. Lyesse Laloui and has 2 academic staff members, 4 Post-docs, 14 PhD students. More information about the LMS and its current research can be found at http://lms.epfl.ch/en.
The position is open and will start upon agreement. Suitable, highly-motivated candidates should send an electronic application (including a cover letter describing interests and qualifications and a CV, as a single PDF) to recruitment.lms@epfl.ch .
