Description:
Energy and environmental aspects of geoscience remain the greatest challenges that our society will face in the coming decades. To provide a numerical tool for energy transition (e.g. underground energy storage) and environmental protection (e.g. sub-surface integrity), we develop an open-source finite element code that enables us to simulate multi-physical processes in sub-surface such as fluid and heat transport, rock deformation and failure, and reactive transport. We are looking for a person who will further advance the method with either of the following topics:
- crack propagation in porous materials
- multi-phase/multi-component flow
- multi-scale modeling
Requirements:
- Engineering degree in one of the listed fields: Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computational Science
- Familiarity with numerical methods for solving PDE systems
Desired qualifications:
- Good communication skills in English and team working capabilities
- Experience in object oriented programming
