Job abstractJV_description

Position as Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is available at the Department of Geosciences, in the CO2 Storage group. The position is integrated in the FRISK project consortium.

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

The appointment is a fulltime position and is for a period of 2,5 years.

Project abstractJV_description

The Department of Geosciences seeks a highly motivated structural geologist that can enrich and strengthen the Department's focus on challenges around faults in CO2 storage formations. Large uncertainty in fault properties leads to poor confidence in seal integrity and CO2 storage capacity estimates. To overcome these challenges, there is a need for in-depth understanding of faults and their flow properties. Work will characterize and quantify fault complexity based on seismic interpretation and fault imaging in 3D seismic data from the Smeaheia-Troll region, currently developed as a major CO2 storage site. Analogue data will be used to analyse ranges of fault complexity.

The aim is to develop methods that allow parametrization of fault properties, fundamental for analysis of risks of across and along-fault fluid mobility. The position is integrated in the FRISK project, addressing fault-related leakage risk in a multidisciplinary team of geology, geomechanics and flow modelling. FRISK is associated with the FME NCCS Center.

The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.

Qualification requirements

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

• Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Structural geology, geology/earth sciences or related disciplines. Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Appointment is dependent on the public defense of the doctoral thesis being approved.
• Fluent oral and written communication skills in English is required and competence in a Scandinavian language an asset.
• Candidates should have a noticeable track record in scientific publishing and outreach of relevance to Structural geology.

The main purpose of a postdoctoral fellowship is to provide the candidates with enhanced skills to pursue a scientific top position within or beyond academia. To promote a strategic career path, all postdoctoral research fellows are required to submit a professional development plan no later than one month after commencement of the postdoctoral period.

The following qualifications will count in the assessment of the applicants:

• Scientific merits and ambitions
• Background in structural geology
• Abilities in independent research

We offer

• salary NOK 523 200 - 605 500 per annum depending on qualifications in position as Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (position code 1352)
• attractive welfare benefits and a generous pension agreement
• professionally stimulating working environment
• vibrant international academic environment
• postdoctoral development programs
• Oslo's family-friendly surroundings with their rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities

How to apply

The application must include

• Cover letter (statement of motivation, summarizing scientific work and research interest)
• Research statement outlining ambitions for the Postdoc period and beyond
• CV (summarizing education, positions, pedagogical experience, administrative experience and other qualifying activity)
• Copies of educational certificates, academic transcript of records and letters of recommendation
• A complete list of publications and up to 5 academic works that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
• Names and contact details of 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number)

The application with attachments must be delivered in our electronic recruiting system. Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University's grading system. Please note that all documents should be in English (or a Scandinavian language).

In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on the documented, academic qualifications and the quality of the project as well as the candidates motivation and personal suitability. Interviews with the best qualified candidates will be arranged.

It is expected that the successful candidate completes the project in the course of the period of employment.
