Postdoctoral Researcher in Rock Deformation and Stress Modelling
Jan Klimeš
Permanent researcher position at the Department of Engineering Geology, Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences
Position: Postdoctoral Researcher in Rock Deformation and Stress Modelling
Our established research team is looking for a new colleague ready to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to our projects. We study how gravitational and tectonic forces cause rock deformation – fundamental phenomena that can compromise infrastructure and affect future development. Our mission is to reduce landslide and fault-related risks through extensive field monitoring and rigorous investigations, carried out in collaboration with both international partners and the communities affected.
Your work:
- Develop engineering geological models for landslides and underground spaces
- Integrate field monitoring data directly into your models
- Model rock deformation and strain changes using advanced numerical methods
- Communicate your findings through presentations, reports, and publications
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in science or engineering
- Demonstrated experience with numerical modelling software
- Strong record of publications in international peer-reviewed journals
- Initiative in seeking grant opportunities and fostering international collaborations
- Proficiency in English (B2/C1 level or higher)
We offer:
- Full-time position is available immediately
- The base salary follows the institute’s pay scale, with opportunities to supplement income through grants and publications
- Friendly, collaborative research team with access to extensive field and monitoring data
- Flexible working hours, including remote work, with 25 vacation days and 5 sick days per year
- Access to training courses offered by the Czech Academy of Sciences
- Discounts for sports facilities and the Academia bookstore
- Possibility of affordable housing and access to childcare in Prague
