- Underground space and performance-based design of soil-structure systems

- Resilient geotechnical infrastructure in the face of hazards (eg landslides, flooding, tsunamis, etc)

- Novel materials for geotechnical applications

- Computational geomechanics

The successful candidate will take up the appointment on 1 May 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment will be for a probationary period of five years and, subject to satisfactory performance, with appointment to the retiring age thereafter.
