stillingsbetegnelse: Senior Research Scientist in Chalk Sedimentology

jobbeskrivelse:
The Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (Centre for Oil and Gas – DTU), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), invites applicants for a position as Senior Research Scientist in Chalk Sedimentology. Centre for Oil and Gas – DTU is established by the Danish Underground Consortium and DTU. The centre has received a starting grant of DKK 1 billion for a 10-year period and relies on close interaction between Academia and industry. As part of the National Strategy on Oil and Gas, the research centre is an ambitious, targeted effort to enable increased recovery of oil and gas from the Danish North Sea. The goal will be achieved by cooperation with the industry and other research institutions to further progress knowledge and solutions with application potential, and by contributing to research-based teaching programs. The Centre is currently in a build-up phase. We are therefore seeking high profile Senior Research Scientists who have the ambition and expertise to contribute to shaping the Centre. Responsibilities and tasks We seek a highly qualified and motivated Senior Research Scientist to support the Scientific Director in the section of Reservoir Characterization. The successful candidate is expected to actively participate in building a strong applied research environment in reservoir characterization of chalk and other fine-grained sediments, to develop new geological models for reservoir prediction in the Danish North Sea fields and to pursue innovative research. The Senior Research Scientist is also expected to engage in coordination of integrated research activities, primarily across the areas of Reservoir Characterization and Enhanced Oil Recovery. Furthermore it is expected that the candidate will pursue research projects with a line-of-sight to application by engaging with external parties and with colleagues across the Centre. The candidate will be responsible for the daily supervision of work within the centre at DTU and the coordination of activities undertaken by the research partners. The position also involves daily supervision of PhD student and Postdocs connected to the centre, and participation in building a highly productive, stimulating and innovative multidisciplinary applied research environment. Qualifications Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent in geology, geophysics or related fields as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding a position as Researcher or Postdoc. The successful candidate also has a solid understanding of the geological controls on fundamental reservoir parameters of chalk and the link between generic processes, microtexture and reservoir properties. Documented experience with chalk sedimentology and fine-grained sediment dynamics and how physical processes of chalk deposition influence reservoir properties are needed. The position requires that the candidates masters to collaborate in a multi-disciplinary research centre. Experience with collaboration between academic research environments and the petroleum industry is desirable. Assessment In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to: •scientific production and research potential at international level •innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas •the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities •the ability to promote and utilize research results •an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience •the ability to contribute to development of the department’s internal and external cooperation We offer DTU offers an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare.
