Job Opportunities:
The core of the CREEP Innovative Training Network are 16 cross-disciplinary Ph.D. research projects address the fundamental question of how complex rheologies influence the dynamics of both the shallow and the deep Earth and industrial applications. Each project involves at least two different disciplinary approaches and is co-supervised by senior scientists from different institutions. It also involves a internship of at least 2 months in one of the private-sector partners.
The projects are
structured in 4 work-packages that comprise 3-5 research projects
involving closely related methods. Strong interactions are envisaged
between these 4 WP. These interactions will be organized through the
following transverse research themes, which group studies using
different methods and/or analysing different aspects of a process.
These transverse research themes are:
- Mantle dynamics and plate tectonics, which includes ESR projects 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16
- Multiple deformations mechanisms and composite
rheologies, which includes ESR’s projects 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 16.
- Faults rheology and dynamics, which includes ESR’s projects 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 16.
- Fluid-rock interactions, which includes ESR’s projects 3, 8, 12, 14
- Rocksalt deformation, which includes ESR’s projects 3, 13
- Microfracturing and induced seismicity, which includes ESR’s projects 2, 12, 14.
- Deformation and anisotropy of physical properties, which includes ESR’s projects 1, 6, 11, 13.
