Offer Description

The Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC)  is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to study multiphase flow and hydrodynamic transport in permeable media. The position is part of the ERC Starting Grant project Uplift.

The candidate will develop upscaled models to quantify the impact of medium and flow heterogeneity on reaction rates under partially-saturated conditions. These models will be based on an understanding of the pore-scale features and mechanisms that govern transport and mixing across a wide range of saturation degrees, medium structures, and flow conditions. While the main focus of the position is the development of theoretical models, the candidate will also be involved in the associated numerical modeling and interact with the Uplift research team and collaborators regarding numerical and experimental data. Results will be published in international scientific journals, newsletters, and social media outlets, and the work will be presented at international conferences and project meetings.
