Post-Docoral Research Positions in the area of numerical simulations of coupled thermal-hydro-geomechanical processes

Submitted by Vanessa Van Dyk on

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Energy Resources Recovery & Management Department invites applications for one, or possibly two, post-doctoral research positions in the area of numerical simulations of coupled thermal-hydro-geomechanical processes in geothermal reservoirs. The position(s) will be available in October 2009 and will be renewable for up to 3 years. An earlier start is possible, depending on project development. The minimum requirements for this position are a PhD in geomechanics, hydrogeology or computational mechanics, with extensive experience in computer modeling and simulation. The ideal candidate will have applied discrete element methods to problems in geoemechanics and will have expertise in the areas of modeling fluid flow and reactive transport in fractured and porous media. Experience with high performance computing is also highly desirable. Applicants should send a CV and summary of research interests by email to Vanessa.VanDyk [at] inl.gov.   INL is an Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/D/V
