Oil Gas Vacancy UK

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader in Geomechanics

School of Earth and Environment

Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics

With an expected start date of 1 September 2009 or as soon as possible after that date. You will be expected to:

• Conduct independent and collaborative research in geomechanics.
• Attract significant research income.
• Lecture on courses such as the BEng in Petroleum Engineering and the MSc's in Structural Geology and Exploration Geophysics.
• Supervise undergraduate and post-graduate (MSc and PhD) student research projects

With an Earth Sciences, Engineering or Mathematics PhD or equivalent industrial experience, you will be well-organised, highly motivated, and capable both of independent action and work in a group environment. You will have a track record of applied research in subjects such as petroleum-related geomechanics, CO₂ storage, waste disposal or natural hazards, but the main criterion is a willingness to work collaboratively with active research groups in both pure and applied geoscience. Expertise in finite element-based geomechanical modelling would be an advantage.
