Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Geomechanics and Carbon Storage Science
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the University of Adelaide. The successful candidate will be part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) funded Stress, Structure and Seismic (S3) Research Group, working on identifying and reducing geomechanical risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
About the RoleThis is a fixed-term position for 30 months, with a full-time commitment. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing multiscale geomechanical tools and workflows to assist in basin-scale screening for CCS locations. This will involve:
- Predicting pre-injection stress conditions and geomechanical properties of potential CO2 storage sites;
- Quantifying the impact of historical injection and extraction activities on the poro-thermo-mechanical properties of target CO2 and understanding how such changes may impact the likelihood of geomechanical reservoir deformation;
- Understanding how fault rock properties impact the likelihood of fault reactivation during CO2 injection; and
- Constraining how CO2-water-rock interactions impact the geomechanical integrity of reservoirs and seals.
To be successful in this role, you will need:
- A completed or nearly completed PhD in structural geology, geomechanics, tectonics or geophysics;
- An established record of scientific achievements in structural geology, geomechanics, tectonics or geophysics, including publications in international peer-reviewed journals;
- Demonstrated knowledge and outstanding interdisciplinary research skills related to shallow crustal deformation and geomechanics;
- Fluency in written and spoken English, and excellent verbal and written communication skills;
- Interpersonal skills and ability to work as both an independent researcher and as a member of a diverse research team;
- Strong potential to secure nationally competitive grants for research initiatives.
While not essential, the following skills would be highly desirable:
- Experience in the interpretation and modelling of subsurface geomechanical and geophysical datasets;
- Experience in the numerical modelling of shallow crustal deformation processes;
- Experience of or familiarity with experimental rock mechanics and/or gas-water-rock interactions;
- Knowledge of the hydraulic properties of fault and fracture systems in relation to subsurface CO2 storage;
- Ability to assist with the supervision of research students in the research area where required;
- Ability to contribute to the preparation of research proposal submissions to funding bodies;
- Ability to collaborate actively with industry, government and academic research partners.
The University of Adelaide is a uniquely rewarding workplace, offering a range of benefits including:
- A competitive salary and superannuation package;
- A dynamic and supportive research environment;
- Opportunities for professional development and career advancement;
- A diverse and inclusive workplace culture;
- Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment;
- Opportunities to collaborate with industry, government and academic partners.
We are an equal employment opportunity employer and welcome applications from diverse candidates. Women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.
