Universitetet i Stavanger (UiS) har omlag 10.100 studenter og 1.530 ansatte. Universitetet ligger i Norges tredje største byregion, med et dynamisk arbeidsmarked og spennende kultur- og fritidsaktiviteter. Vi er eneste norske medlem av European Consortium of Innovative Universities. Universitetet har store ambisjoner. Vi skal være en drivkraft i regionens kunnskapsutvikling og et internasjonalt forskningsuniversitet med vekt på nyskapning og innovasjon. Sammen med våre ansatte og studenter vil vi løfte blikket, og våge å tenke stort og nytt - vi vil utfordre det velkjente og utforske det ukjente.

Institutt for petroleumsteknologi, som er en del av Det teknisk-naturvitenskapelige fakultet, tilbyr studier og driver forskning innenfor boreteknologi, investerings- og beslutningsanalyse i petroleumssektoren, naturgassteknologi, petroleumsgeologi, petroleumsteknologi, og reservoarteknologi. Det tilbys studier på bachelor-, master- og doktorgradsnivå. I nært samarbeid med IRIS og oljeindustrien har instituttet etablert samarbeid om forskning. Instituttet satser stort på internasjonalisering med bl.a utvikling av engelskspråklige studier og stor mobilitet blant vitenskapelig ansatte og studenter. Det er i dag 90 ansatte (inkl stipendiater og postdoktorer) og 750 studenter er tilknyttet instituttet.

The University of Stavanger invites applications for a doctorate scholarship in Mathematical Modeling at Department of Petroleum Engineering.

This is a trainee position that will mainly give promising researchers an opportunity for professional development leading to a doctoral degree.

The research fellow will be appointed for three years. The position is vacant from 1. August, 2016. The appointee can accede when he/she is admitted to the PhD program in petroleum technology with an agreement to complete the doctorate within the duration of the scholarship.

This PhD scolarship will be part of the activity of the reservoir group. In this group focus is on gaining insight into multiphase transport-reaction processes, both through experimental approaches as well as through development of mathematical models. The topic of this PhD will be development and analysis of multiphase models. These models are general enough to fit various interesting applications besides reservoir and wellbore flow, including multiphase behavior in the context of cell migration in tissue (e.g. cancer cell dynamics), traffic flow, transport in biological media, etc.

The position is funded by the Ministry of Education.

Applicants must have a strong academic background with a five-year master degree within mathematics/physics/engineering, preferably recently, or possess corresponding qualifications which could provide a basis for successfully completing a doctorate. Both the grade for the master's thesis and the weight average grade of the master's degree must individually be equivalent to or better than a B grade. Also applicants whom is in the last semester of their master degree will be taken into consideration. The chosen applicants must meet the given qualification before hiring. Documented knowledge of theory for partial differential equations (PDEs) and experience with numerical methods for solving such equations will strengthen the application.

By rating emphasis will be placed on the applicant's potential for doing research in the field described above, as well as that person's individual prerequisites for research education.

The appointee must be able to work independently and as a member of a team, be creative and innovative.

The research fellow must have a good command of both oral and written English.

This fellowship position is important for obtaining a scientific position at a University.

The doctorate will mainly be carried
