Researcher position in Steady State Porous Media Flow

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

Jobbnorge ID: 170206

Job abstractJV_description

Position as researcher in Porous Media Physics is available at PoreLab - Center of Excellence - at the Department of Physics.

The position is for a period of two years, with starting date as soon as possible.

The theme of the researcher position will be "Experimental characterization of steady-state properties of flow in porous media". The aim of the researcher project is to investigate the different phases obtained in steady state two-phase flow in porous media. The experiments will be performed with quasi two-dimensional models with and without a gravitational field. In steady-state two-phase flow, the systems can either present a rich dynamics of fragmentation, motion and coalescence of single-phase fluid clusters, or have nearly frozen and immobile clusters. We will explore the transition between those opposing steady-state regimes by carefully tuning a set of experimental parameters governing the dynamics.

The position is an excellent possibility for a young scientist to qualify for a tenured academic position. It is expected that the candidate actively pursues possibilities for new projects within the field, by participating/submitting applications to the EU, the Research Council of Norway and industry. The candidate will take part in supervision of students and also outreach activity connected to PoreLab.

Qualification requirements

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

Required qualifications:

• PhD within experimental porous media physics
• Strong background in hydrodynamics and statistical physics
• Experience and competence in image processing of complex systems.
• Good language skills, in particular a good command of both written and spoken English.
• The successful candidate should be creative, with a strong ability to work problem-oriented. He/she should enjoy interdisciplinary research and take keen interest in team works in several contexts.
