The Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG-TUBS) of Technische Universität Braunschweig is looking for a research associate (m/f/d) to do research on the topic "Tool-Soil Interactions in Mechanized Tunneling".
Modern mechanized tunneling is characterized by the use of tunnel boring machines with complex process technology for excavation, soil conveying, and support of the tunnel face. Despite advanced technology, many tunneling projects, especially in loose rock formations, face challenges due to mechanical wear and adhesion of the excavation and conveying equipment. The position aims to contribute to applied research by quantifying and predicting these issues through the development of practical experiments and models. The research will initially focus on decoupling adhesion and wear phenomena, examining them separately within the framework of experiments to be developed.
As of now, the Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG) of the TU Braunschweig is looking for student assistants to work in the soil mechanics laboratory and as a tutor for geotechnical engineering in the bachelor's degree program. You can find more detailed information in the document below, and we look forward to hearing from you.
The Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG) of Technische Universität Braunschweig connects student trainees with geotechnical companies. Among others, there are job offers at IG Braunschweig GmbH - Geotechnik + Deponietechnik, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Walter Rodatz Und Partner - Beratende Ingenieure Für Geotechnik GmbH, Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE), Fichtner Water & Transportation GmbH and Ramboll Deutschland GmbH.
