Job abstractJV_description

Position as PhD Research Fellowship in Geophysics available at Department of Geosciences.

The fellowship period is 3 years and devoted to carrying out a project enabstractJV_titled 'Accelerating CSEM technology for efficient and quantitative CO2 monitoring'.

No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.

The successful candidate will pursue his/her PhD studies for a total period of 36 months. Preferred start date as soon as possible.

The work of the PhD candidate will be part of a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council through the CLIMIT program, with focus on CO2 monitoring employing Controlled-Source EM (CSEM) technology.
