Job Description
We are recruiting a Project Researcher (II) or Postdoctoral Researcher to engage in the project, “Granular numerical rock-box experiments for understanding the unified system of structural development and earthquakes (FY2024-FY2027, PI: Dr. Mikito Furuichi)”, supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research project.
[Research Description]
(Immediately upon employment)
This project aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of granular behavior within multiscale processes, spanning from structural development in the seismogenic zone (accretionary prism) to earthquake occurrence via fault movement. This work employs a numerical rock box simulation model based on the discrete element method (DEM). We solicit a Project Researcher (II) or Postdoctoral Researcher to analyze data from DEM simulations, focusing on the development of stress fields within granular bodies, excitation of elastic waves during fracture events, wave propagation, and conducting seismological interpretations of these phenomena.
In terms of methodology, network analysis of stress chains and a tessellation-based method, currently under development by our team, may be used. However, the approach will be flexibly adjusted based on the applicant’s expertise and experience.
