Job Title:
Post Doctoral Scholar
Department:
Arts and Sciences | Earth Sciences
The School of Earth Sciences and the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, at the Ohio State University, are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary team that is exploring the production of ‘gold’ carbon-free geological hydrogen. The project involves federal funding and close collaboration with an industry partner, facilitating unprecedented access to real field data. Tasks will include translating field data into suitable inputs for reservoir simulations, performing and analyzing compositional multiphase flow and transport simulations with our in-house research reservoir simulator, and adding new capabilities to our modeling toolbox. A specific task is the addition of heat transport to a simulator that currently assumes isothermal conditions. The successful applicant will play an integral role in supporting the success of high stakes field-scale pilot projects. All previous postdocs in this group have moved onto successful careers in Academia, National Labs, and Industry.
Qualifications:
A Doctoral Degree in relevant Science and Engineering fields (including but not limited to Earth Sciences, (Astro)Physics, Computer Science and Engineering, Petroleum/Chemical/Civil Engineering) with demonstrated prior experience in code development and ideally multiphase flow modeling (e.g., reservoir simulation). Excellent organizational and collaborative skills are required, and strong oral and written communication skills are expected. Prior experience with fortran and heat transport modeling are desirable.
Additional Information:
The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest college and the academic heart of the university. The College hosts 81 majors. With 38 departments, 20+ world-class research centers, and more than 2,000 faculty and staff members, students have the unique opportunity to study with the best artists, scholars, and scientists in their field.
