Candidates must possess experience in mechanics of porous media, constitutive models of rock and phenomenological models for rock strength, poroelasticity, poroplasticity, rock physics, multi-scale analytical and numerical modeling, advanced numerical simulation and experimental geomechanics. Analyses types include Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid flow, flow in porous media, elastic, inelastic and creep deformation, heat transfer, damage and contact mechanics, structural stability and coupled fluid-structure interactions.
