Adelaide, South Australia The University Of Adelaide Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team in the Discipline of Earth Sciences 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).

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop multiscale geomechanical tools and workflows to assist in basin-scale screening for CCS locations
  • Predict pre-injection stress conditions and geomechanical properties of potential CO2 storage sites
  • Quantify the impact of historical injection and extraction activities on the poro-thermo-mechanical properties of target CO2 and understand how such changes may impact the likelihood of geomechanical reservoir deformation
  • Understand how fault rock properties impact the likelihood of fault reactivation during CO2 injection
  • Constrain how CO2-water-rock interactions impact the geomechanical integrity of reservoirs and seals
Requirements
  • Completed or nearly completed PhD in structural geology, geomechanics, tectonics or geophysics
  • 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
Desirable Characteristics
  • 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
