The working group Geohydromodelling at the Institute for Geosciences of the Christian-Albrechts- University Kiel invites applications for the following positions, which are available within research projects and to be filled by 1.10.2013 or later: 1 Postdoctoral Scientist and 2 PhD positionsOur profile The research area of the working group Geohydromodelling is modelling and numerical simulation of flow and reactive transport processes in single and multi-phase systems in the subsurface as well as simulation of geothermal heat flow and geomechanical effects. Application areas are e.g. contaminated ground water sites, subsurface storage of greenhouse gases, geothermal energy and storage of renewable energy in geologic reservoirs. For this, the required numerical codes are developed and applied in real case studies. The working group participates in national research programs, funded by the German Research Foundation or the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, but is also involved in projects with industry. Your profile You have a university degree in geosciences, physics, geophysics, mathematics or engineering sciences. In case of the Postdoc position, you have obtained a Ph.D. in one of these fields. You are interested in working on geoscientific questions and have a good knowledge of mathematics and informatics. You have ideally experience in developing and applying scientific software. Knowledge on flow- and reactive transport processes as well as on the C/C++ programming language are beneficial for all positions. Your tasks The positions are part of the research project ANGUS+, investigating the subsurface storage possibilities for renewable energy in the form of hydrogen, methane, compressed air or heat in geologic reservoirs. Aim is the development and application of the corresponding scientific simulation software. The main focus of research will be the development, verification and application of the software for simulating the non-isothermal multi-phase flow and reactive multi-component transport processes. Using scenario simulations, the requirements for geologic storage, the effects of the individual storage options as well as mutual influences are investigated. Our Offer The positions are to be filled starting 1.10.2013 and are initially limited until June 2016. Salary will be according to TV-L E13. The regular weekly working hours correspond to 100 % in the case of the Postdoc position (currently 38.7 hours), in case of the Ph.D. positions to 50% (currently 19.35 hours). The opportunity for scientific qualification or obtaining a PhD is given. The Christian-Albrechts-University aims at increasing the number of women in research and academic teaching and strongly invites applications of accordingly qualified women. Women will be preferred, provided equal qualifications and scientific performance. The CAU supports the employment of severely disabled persons. Therefore severely disabled persons will be preferred, provided equal qualifications and scientific performance. For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Sebastian Bauer, Institute for Geosciences, Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel. Please send your applications with the usual documents (curriculum vitae, grade certificates and a list of publications) as well as names and addresses of two referees until 15.09.2013 to: Prof. Dr. Sebastian Bauer |
