2-year postdoctoral position in computational chemistry studies


SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and K. A. Rasmussen AS collaborate on the development of novel catalysts for the Ostwald process (ammonia combustion). The main goal is to reduce the amount of NNO as a byproduct, either by improving the selectivity of the combustion catalyst itself or by the use of a secondary catalyst for decomposing NNO. To include atomistic modeling in the project, a postdoctoral fellow will be hired in 2009.

The main body of the work will involve the study of elementary reaction steps of nitrogen oxide reactions on different oxide surfaces, using slab model band structure calculations and possibly also cluster model calculations.

The successful candidate will work at SINTEF’s department of Process Chemistry in Oslo. We have a scientifically diverse, easy-going and quite international environment. The project will rely on the national Norwegian high performance computing resources (www.notur.no) for hardware resources.

Applicants must hold a PhD in quantum chemistry or computational solid-state physics, preferably involving band structure calculations on surfaces. A strong ability to work independently is appreciated, as well as the ability to view the computational work in a wider context, collaborating with experimentalists. Experience in installing and tuning software for efficiency on high performance computing resources would be an advantage. A good working knowledge of the English language is necessary.

Any inquiries regarding the position should be addressed to research scientist Ole Swang, ole.swang@sintef.no .

Applicants interested in the position should send an application with the standard information attached (CV with references and publication list) via e-mail to HR officer Anne Larsen at anne.larsen@sintef.no before April 30th, 2009.

PhD Position, TUDelft, Netherlands

Enhance Predictive Capabilities of Flow Models
of the Shallow Subsurface



Department/faculty: Civil Engineering and Geosciences
Level: Master degree
Working hours: Maximum of 38 hours per week (1 FTE)
Contract: Four years
Salary: Maximum of €2612 per month gross


Job description

Geological reservoir models used in hydrocarbon and groundwater exploitation are typically based on stochastic-geometric interpolation methods. Such methods generate solutions that are locally optimal, but are not constrained by the large-scale geological setting of the reservoir. The aims of this project are (1) to develop a post-processor for an existing low-resolution, basin-scale process-based model of fluvio-deltaic drainage networks and stratigraphy, which is conditioned to large-scale basin geometry and geological boundary conditions. The post-processor should generate explicit, object-based, stochastic realizations of the small-scale reservoir architecture (low and high sinuosity channel belts) to permit analysis of sand-body connectivity, and its controls on fluid flow and mixing of sediments with different provenance; (2) to better characterize subsurface heterogeneity and reduce the solution space associated with well data relative to current (geometric) models; (3) to test the method by performing flow simulations on synthetic and real-world reservoirs, in order to study the dispersal of contaminants in the shallow subsurface and propose strategies for groundwater exploitation.

Requirements

Candidates should have an MSc degree in Earth Sciences (Geology, Geophysics, Physical Geography) or Engineering (Engineering Geology, Hydraulic Engineering, Petroleum Engineering). Candidates with demonstrable expertise in geological or flow modelling and a keen interest in optimization problems are specifically encouraged to apply.

Conditions of employment

The successful candidate will be employed by Delft University of Technology for a fixed period of four years within which he/she is expected to write a doctoral thesis. TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home, and the option of assembling a customized compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA'). Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

Delft University of Technology strives to increase the number of women in higher academic positions; women are therefore especially encouraged to apply.

PhD-fellowships / Post Doc-fellowships Norway

We are looking for four candidates for PhD-fellowships / Post Doc-fellowships (3 years) on projects within enhanced oil recovery supported by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and industry. The fellows will work in the following projects:

A Novel Approach to Surfactant Flooding Under Mixed-Wet Conditions

Low salinity water flooding of North Sea sandstone reservoirs

Project description:

A Novel Approach to Surfactant Flooding Under Mixed-Wet Conditions
The objective is to enhance the present knowledge and competence on surfactant flooding by investigating the key oil recovery mechanisms at various reservoir wetting conditions and at different scales in sandstone reservoirs. In particular, the project will be focused on the link between formation properties measured at core-scale and the input parameters used to properly represent these properties in a field-wide simulation and how this dependency is influenced by heterogeneities larger than the core-scale and smaller than the field simulator grid block size. One position will be directed towards experimental work and the other one towards matematical modelling.

Low salinity water flooding of North Sea sandstone reservoirs
The objective is first to develop a numerical modelling routine for simulation of physicochemical processes in low salinity water floods on laboratory scale (1-dimensional). A simple extension to water flood simulators that can be used to translate laboratory results into field scale estimates of low salinity water floods will be presented. Best practice for determination of the potential for low salinity water flooding of sandstone oil reservoirs including guidelines for required experimental and simulation work will be established. One position will be directed towards experimental work and the other one towards matematical modelling.

We would like to start as soon as possible.
Competency requirements
The fellowships are open for applicants with background in Reservoir Technologies, Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics. Candidates must hold an MSc. degree, Cand. Scient. or equivalent.

Experience
We especially welcome applicants who have recently graduated, but are also interested to hear from those with some years of relevant work experience.

Personal qualities
You are creative, academically competent, able to work well in multi disciplinary teams, and interested in academic challenge and advancement.

Conditions
A PhD fellowships / Post Doc. fellowships will be awarded for 3 years. For the selected candidate we can offer:

  • Work in a multidisciplinary environment with staff from IRIS, UiS
  • Excellent opportunity for networking towards the petroleum industry partners.
  • Competitive salary and benefits.
