PhD Research Fellowship in Computational Modeling of Shale-gas Systems in Norway

 

University of Oslo is offering a PhD research fellowship in computational modeling of shale-gas systems. The position is associated with the Department of Physics and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology, University of Oslo. The position is part of the research project “Cross-scale modeling of CO2/hydrocarbon conversion in hydrofractured shale”. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in computational physics, demonstrated programming competence and experience with molecular modeling methods. The application deadline is May 1, 2014.

Study Subject (s): Fellowship is awarded in the field of Computational Modeling of Shale-gas Systems at Department of Physics / Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN). The position is part of the research project “Cross-scale modeling of CO2/hydrocarbon conversion in hydrofractured shale”
Course Level: Fellowship is available for pursuing PhD research programme at University of Oslo.
Scholarship Provider: University of Oslo, Norway (project is funded by Research Council of Norway)

Eligibility:
-The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
-Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent (e.g. first class Honours degree) in physics and have an interest in multidisciplinary research. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in computational physics, demonstrated programming competence and experience with molecular modeling methods.
-Candidates without a Master’s degree have until 30 June, 2014 to complete the final exam.
-The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.

Scholarship Open for International Students: Norwegian and Foreign applicants can apply for this PhD research fellowship.

Scholarship Description: University of OsloThe position is associated with the Department of Physics and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology, University of Oslo. The successful candidate will develop cross-scale simulation models for clean energy applications with focus on CO2 storage. The candidate will work in an internationally leading cross-disciplinary environment studying the physics of nano-confined fluids in fractured gas-bearing shales, addressing processes such as nano-scale fluid dynamics, deformation, adsorption and desorption processes. The candidate will develop and use state-of-the-art computer simulation packages and national supercomputer resources.

Number of award(s): There is one PhD research Fellowship available.

Duration of award(s): The fellowship is awarded for a period of 3 years.

What does it cover? Pay grade is 50 – 57 (NOK 421 100 – 473 400 per year).
