The institute specialises in development and competence in the new knowledge community within the areas of petroleum, marine environment and social and industrial development. IRIS, which is customer oriented, is involved in several multinational projects, including EU programmes and has customers in a number of countries. The institute also has a significant role in influencing national knowledge and values, with close links to the Universities of Stavanger and Bergen, as well as Rogaland Science Park.

IRIS commercialises its work through its own subsidiary IRIS - Forskningsinvest AS which has owner interests in approx. 25 companies. The Institute, together with its subsidiary and associated companies, forms a group with approx. 250 employees altogether, and is one of the largest research groups in Norway

Work assignments
Postdoctoral research in the field of geological modeling with focus on modeling of tectonic processes related to sedimentary basins and/or postglacial rebound of Scandinavia. This includes modeling of isostatic movements, crustal/subcrustal thinning and various other processes related to heat flow and leading to vertical movements.

IRIS values an open-minded and investigative staff, with the ability to get on easily together in the working environment. The ideal is not a homogeneous workforce, but rather mutual respect and appreciation, and the ability to work together towards a common target.

Experience
The postdoctoral are open for applicants with background in Geology, Petroleum Science or Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related fields.

Personal qualities
You are creative, academically competent, able to work well in multi disciplinary teams and interested in academic challenges and advancement.
