Hydrogeology Postdoctoral Fellow

Berkeley Lab - California - Berkeley Lab's Earth and Environmental Sciences Area ( ) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow with expertise in the analysis of coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in geological media to join their ! In this 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. We seek expertise in modeling and analyzing THM processes in the subsurface with basic skills of coding. What You Will Do: Conduct numerical modeling of THMC processes for a wide range of geoscience applications, such as nuclear waste disposal, geologic carbon sequestration, geothermal exploitation and hydrocarbon recovery. Analyze and estimate coupled processes such as multi-phase flow, wellbore stability, hydraulic fracturing and stimulations in aforementioned applications. Collaborate with scientists in other fields such as Hydrogeology, Geomechanics, Seismology, and Geochemistry. Write peer-review journal articles and technical reports. What is Required: A recent PhD in Rock Mechanics, Fracture Mechanics, Petroleum Engineering, Geothermal Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, or a closely related field. Demonstrated programming skills in C/C++, and/or C#, FORTRAN, and 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. Strong verbal and written communication skills for effective collaboration and for writing peer-reviewed journal publications and technical reports. The posting shall remain open until the position is filled. Notes: This is a full time, M-F, exempt from overtime pay (monthly paid), 2 year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs.
