Oil Gas Vacancy UK Researcher

Department of Engineering

Two Senior Research Associates

Petroleum Resources and Water Resources

Salary: 36,532-46,278 pa
Limit of tenure: 31 May 2014

Arising from a collaboration with the American University of Sharjah (AUS), CambridgeUniversity seeks to appoint two Sharjah Fellows, their respective fields of activity being Petroleum Resources, and Water Resources. The Sharjah Fellows will be required to undertake teaching and to conduct research in both institutions. They will be appointed on the Senior Research Associate salary scale, but they will receive additional allowances in view of the requirement that they divide their time between Cambridge and Sharjah.

The Sharjah Fellow in Petroleum Resources will carry out research relevant to some aspect of petroleum exploration, reservoir engineering, oil and gas abstraction technology or distribution systems. Teaching duties will include the creation and delivery of an introductory course on "upstream" aspects of petroleum engineering.

The Sharjah Fellow in Water Resources will carry out research relevant to some aspect of hydrology and climate change, groundwater and aquifer management, desalinization and water treatment, water distribution and demand management. Teaching duties will include the creation and delivery of a course on water resources for Civil and Environmental Engineers.

These appointments will contribute to the Department of Engineering's strategic themes of energy, the environment and sustainability. They offer the opportunity to make creative advances in science and technology towards the effective management of our natural resources. And they offer the successful candidates the opportunity to become familiar with the contrasting environments and cultures of the United Arab Emirates and the UK, so that their academic endeavours might be more widely applicable.
