PhD Research Fellow in geochemical modeling
PhD Research Fellow in Geochemical Modeling – Université d’Oslo
Titre du poste : PhD Research Fellow in geochemical modeling
Entreprise : UNIVERSITETET I OSLO SENTRALADMINISTRASJON
Contexte :
Le poste proposé est une opportunité de recherche au sein de l’un des centres de recherche les plus renommés de Norvège, le Département de géoscience/FME GigaCCS. Ce programme vise à soutenir la recherche sur le stockage des CO2, un sujet crucial dans le contexte actuel des changements climatiques et de la transition énergétique.
Objet du poste
Le candidat sélectionné intégrera le centre FME GigaCCS, qui a pour but de faire progresser l’expertise de la Norvège en matière de captage et de stockage de carbone (CCS) à l’échelle mondiale. Il travaillera spécifiquement sur des sujets de modélisation géochimique pour réduire les risques associés au stockage de CO2 dans des aquifères (hyper)salins. Ce travail est essentiel car la formation de sel peut entraver la perméabilité et réduire l’injectivité, tant de préoccupations pour la réussite des projets de CCS.
Mission et Responsabilités
La recherche se concentrera sur :
– La modélisation de la formation de sels lors du stockage de CO2.
– L’interaction entre l’hétérogénéité géologique et la formation de sels.
– Le développement de modèles numériques, de l’échelle des pores à l’échelle continue, tout en évaluant l’effet de la stratification sédimentaire sur le retour capillaire vers la zone de dessèchement.
Le candidat travaillera en étroite collaboration avec des équipes interdisciplinaires de l’Université d’Oslo (UiO) et de NORCE, bénéficiant d’une supervision conjointe pour enrichir son expérience académique.
Qualifications Requises
Les candidats doivent posséder :
– Un **Master** en physique, technologie des processus ou géosciences computationnelles, ou un diplôme étranger équivalent.
– Une bonne maîtrise de l’anglais, tant à l’oral qu’à l’écrit.
– Un excellent dossier académique, idéalement avec une moyenne de grade conforme aux normes norvégiennes (C ou mieux pour le baccalauréat et B ou mieux pour le master).
Des compétences supplémentaires souhaitées incluent :
- Connaissances en géochimie, transport réactif, sédimentologie et géologie des réservoirs.
Qualités Personnelles
Pour réussir dans ce poste, les candidats doivent faire preuve de :
– Capacité à travailler tant de manière autonome qu’en équipe.
– Rigueur et adaptabilité face à des missions variées.
– Bonnes compétences en communication et en collaboration.
Environnement de Travail et Avantages
L’Université d’Oslo offre un cadre de travail stimulant et diversifié, avec des opportunités de développement professionnel. Les avantages comprennent :
– Un salaire compétitif pour le poste de chercheur, variant entre NOK 550 800 – 595 000, selon l’expérience.
– Un environnement de travail axé sur l’inclusion et la diversité, cherchant à promouvoir un équilibre des genres et des opportunités pour des candidats d’horizons variés.
– Accès à l’un des meilleurs régimes de retraite en Norvège, ainsi qu’à des possibilités d’activités culturelles et de loisirs.
Comment Postuler
Les candidats intéressés doivent soumettre leur candidature via le système de recrutement de l’Université. Les documents requis incluent :
– Une lettre de motivation détaillant les intérêts de recherche.
– Un CV complet.
– Des relevés de notes et copies des diplômes de Bachelor et Master.
– Documentation de la maîtrise de l’anglais, si nécessaire.
– Références de 2 à 3 contacts académiques.
Il est important de noter que l’Université d’Oslo valorise la transparence et l’équité dans ses processus de recrutement. Tous les candidats seront soumis à une vérification selon les réglementations nationales en matière d’exportation et de sécurité.

📝 Description du poste : About the positionPosition as PhD Research Fellow in geochemical modeling available at Department of geoscience/FME GigaCCS.Starting date as soon as possible.The fellowship period is three years.A fourth year maybe considered and it will involve 25 percent of other career-promoting work. Other career-promoting work may consist of teaching, supervision, and/or research assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department.No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.Job descriptionThe PhD will be part of the new FME GigaCCS centre. The centre will advance Norway’s expertise in CCS, as well as support the global implementation of CCS at a gigatonne scale.
FME GigaCCS seeks a highly motivated candidate for a PhD research fellowship aimed at de-risking CO2 storage in (hyper)saline aquifers. The background is that solid salt is known to form during CO2 storage, potentially leading to permeability
impairment and reduced injectivities. Much research have been done to understand the physics of salt precipitation, but little is known on how geological heterogeneities at various scales affect the extent of salt formation.The project targets modeling formation dry-out and salt precipitation during CO2 storage. The candidate will work on developing numerical models for salt precipitation at pore- to continuum-scale, with special focus on how sedimentary
stratification at various scales affects capillary backflow to the salt-dryout zone. The candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team. There will be a close collaboration between UiO and NORCE, with co-supervision from the latter.What skills are important in this role?The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. 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.We seek a candidate with a demonstrated (a published paper, masters thesis topic, conference presentation, internship or similar) good knowledge on chemical and physical process, especially those involving scale formation (nucleationgrowth of minerals). A geo-scientific knowledge, preferably within stratigraphy and/or geochemistry will be an asset. Qualification requirements:
- Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, process technology, or computational geosciences
- Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system
- Fluent oral and written communication skills in English Candidates without a master’s degree have until 01.10.2025 to complete the finalexam.
