PhD position in France on computational geomechanics for induced seismicity
|
|
We are seeking a candidate with experience in computational (geo)mechanics for a PhD in Earth Science on "Modeling the interactions between aseismic slip, seismic rupture and permeability evolution in fault networks: implications for injection-induced seismicity". The research will be conducted at the Geoazur Laboratory (Université Côte d'Azur, France), co-advised by Jean-Paul Ampuero and Frédéric Cappa. The earliest start date is in September 2025 and the duration is 3 years.
|
The position is contingent on being awarded a PhD fellowship by the French government. The co-advisors will guide the candidate to prepare the fellowship application (April 22) and interview (June 5-6).
|
|
Interested candidates should send their CV and grades to
|
ampuero@geoazur.unice.fr and cappa@geoazur.unice.fr by April 6.

Annual Earthquake Hazards Grant Application Period Open (USGS)
|
The USGS is seeking Earthquake Hazards Research Proposals.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is currently soliciting project proposals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 grants on earthquake hazards science and is authorized to award up to $7 million. Interested researchers can apply online at GRANTS.GOV under funding Opportunity Number G26AS00244. Note that all proposals submitted to the FY26 open application period are now limited to 15 pages, maximum. Please review the application instructions found in the GRANTS.GOV solicitation for more information.
|
The grants offered through the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) are a long-standing effort that contributes to the advancement of earthquake research. The Earthquake Hazards Program encourages submission of new ideas that will provide more timely and accurate earthquake information, better characterization of earthquake sources, and a reduction in uncertainty for earthquake-hazard and risk assessments. USGS also seeks proposals that will help to mitigate earthquake losses and better inform the public about earthquakes and earthquake safety, such as earthquake early warning or other scientific efforts that will lead to reduced risk. The complete list of FY2026 EHP science research priorities is included in the grants solicitation found on GRANTS.GOV as well as the EHP External Grants website.
|
Every year, the USGS invites innovative earthquake research proposals from colleges and universities, state and local offices, non-profit organizations, private institutions, unaffiliated scientists, engineers, and foreign organizations. Past funded grants projects include:
|
- Evaluating earthquake and tsunami hazard in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
- Updating the subduction ground motion model for Alaska
- Understanding responses to ShakeAlert-powered earthquake early warning
- Improving 3D seismic velocity models in the San Francisco Bay region
- Simulating the evolution of stress on the Wasatch Fault system
- Analyzing GNSS Strain Rate and uncertainty in the New Madrid Seismic Zone
