Postdoctoral Scholar

Berkeley Lab - California - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s ( ) Energy Geosciences Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the team. In this exciting role, you will use in-house code to conduct coupled THMC analysis of geological systems for a wider range of applications, including nuclear waste disposal, CO2 sequestration, geothermal exploitation, and hydrocarbon recovery. What You Will Do: Conduct numerical modeling of THM processes for a variety of geoscience applications, primarily for nuclear waste disposal. Analyze and estimate coupled processes such as multi-phase flow, poro-elasto-plasticity of swelling clay, hydrological constitutive relationship under high temperature. Collaborate with scientists in other fields such as hydrogeology, geomechanics, seismology, and geochemistry. Write peer-review journal articles and technical reports. Additional Responsibilities as needed: Make necessary code modifications and enhancements. What is Required: A recent Ph.D. in rock mechanics, petroleum engineering, geothermal engineering, reservoir engineering or equivalent discipline. Programming skills: FORTRAN, C/C++, and/or C#, Python. Expertise in modeling and analysis of coupled THM processes in geological media. Ability to work effectively in a team environment with a multidisciplinary group of scientists. Good verbal and written communication skills for effective collaboration and for writing peer-reviewed journal publications and technical reports. Desired Qualifications: Knowledge of geochemistry. Notes: This is a full-time, 1 year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 4 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.
