At the Department of Mathematics, University of Bergen or SINTEF ICT, Oslo, a 3-year position as Research Fellow (PhD position) is available within the project:
Geological Storage of CO2: Mathematical Modelling and Risk Analysis.
The fellowship is financed by the Research Council of Norway, StatoilHydro and Shell. Work location will be either at the University of Bergen or at SINTEF ICT in Oslo.
The project is a cooperation between research groups at the University of Bergen and SINTEF ICT in Oslo. The candidate will participate in an international research network devoted to the development of analytical and numerical tools to be used in risk assessment analysis of geological storage of CO2. The candidate will in particular focus on the development of streamline methods for simulating CO2 injection. We seek a candidate with background from some of the fields: numerical analysis and programming, differential equations, and reservoir modelling and simulation. More information about the project is found at http://www.math.sintef.no/matmora.
The research fellow must take part in the Universitys approved PhD programme leading to the degree within a time limit of 3 years. Application for admission to the PhD programme, including a project plan outline for the training module, will be worked out in collaboration with the research group in question.
The fellowship period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as research fellow.
Applicants must have achieved a masters degree in applied and computational mathematics, reservoir modelling or related areas, or have submitted their master thesis for assessment by the application deadline. It is a prerequisite, however, that the formal admission requirements for the PhD programme are met before appointment can be made.
Starting salaries at salary level 43 (code 1017) on the government salary scale; currently corresponding to gross NOK 325,800 per year; following ordinary meriting regulations. (range 43/47).
Application
For further information about the positions please contact Professor Helge K. Dahle (UiB), phone +47 55585648, fax: +47 55589672, e-mail helge.dahle[ at ]math.uib.no or Chief Scientist Knut-Andreas Lie (SINTEF ICT), phone +47 22067710, e-mail Knut-Andreas.Lie[ at ]sintef.no
Women in particular are invited to apply. If, in the opinion of the evaluation committee, several applicants have approximately equivalent qualifications, the rules on equal opportunities laid down in the Personnel Regulations for Academic Positions will be applied.
State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at large to the highest possible degree. The University of Bergen has therefore adopted a personnel policy objective to ensure that we achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons of various ethnic backgrounds. Persons of different ethnic backgrounds are therefore encouraged to apply for the position.
The University of Bergen applies the principles of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions. The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.
The application must include a complete overview of education and professional activities (CV), scanned copies of diplomas and transcripts, publications, a list of publications and other scientific works, and contact details of two or three referees, and should be sent to post[ at ]cipr.uib.no
Closing date for applications: 6 June 2008. Quote reference number: Matmora 08/5618
