Job Summary

Applications are invited for a 24 month Postdoctoral Research Associate position to use either or both experimental and numerical modelling techniques to investigate physical processes occurring at spatial scales from .01 – 1 mm (e.g., in the pores of rocks, at mineral fluid interfaces) underpinning the permanent storage of CO2 in geological materials. These processes include the fluid dynamics of CO2 flow and trapping in the pores of rocks, the reaction rates and limitations to CO2 mineralisation, the dissolution of CO2 into brine confined within the pores of rocks. There is flexibility within this scope for the ultimate definition of the specific problems investigated, and this is left to be tailored to the interests and background of the researcher.

This post is part of the project InFUSE (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/a-z-research/infuse-prosperity-partnership/ ). InFUSE is a 5-year EPSRC funded Prosperity Partnership between Imperial, Diamond and Shell, which aims to increase our fundamental understanding of interface behaviours through a cross-cutting approach studying morphology, structure and chemistry from the atomic to the macroscale, and their dynamic evolution under a range of extreme operational parameters.

Essential requirements

A PhD, or equivalent, in Earth Science, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics or a closely related discipline, or have equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience.

Applicants should have skills in computational modelling or experimental research in subsurface fluid flow, or fluid-rock mineral reactions, or fluid dynamics, or related fields.

Further Information

You will be working in the Subsurface CO2 Research Group in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London, led by Dr Samuel Krevor. As a part of the InFUSE and Shell Digital Rocks projects, you will be a part of a large cohort of 20-30 researchers between the departments of Earth Science & Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. There are weekly and bimonthly seminars and meetings amongst these cohorts ensuring that you are working in a collaborative team environment with opportunities to participate in research across the university.

Informal inquiries about the position can be made to Dr Samuel Krevor (s.krevor@imperial.ac.uk).
