Overview
The geosciences are the studies of planet Earth the atmosphere, the hydrosphere (including oceans, freshwater and glaciers), the earth's surface and its interior. The span of the work at the Department is well illustrated by the research sections: Meteorology and Oceanography, Environmental Geology, Hydrology and Geohazards, Physical Geography Petroleum Geology and Geophysics Tectonics, Petrology and Geochemistry. The faculty consists of 45 professors and lecturers from 5 different sections. In addition, there are Postdoctoral fellows, Ph.D. students, technical staff and administrative personnel. For more information, see (http://www.geo.uio.no).
The fellowship is for a period of up to 4 years, with 25 % compulsory work. Starting date as soon as possible and no later than 1 October, 2010.
Job description:
The position is affiliated with the Section for Petroleum Geology and Geophysics. The candidate will work within the Norwegian Research Council funded Center for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) SUCCESS - a state-of-the-art research centre and provider of innovative solutions for CO2 storage. The center goal is to develop and provide a sound scientific base for CO2 injection, storage and monitoring. The candidate will work within WP1 and WP3 (see http://www.fme-success.no) where geochemical and geomechanical response to CO2 injection will be studied, and we are looking for candidates with a suitable background in these areas. CO2 injection is followed by a pressure increase and potential fracturing. Current empirical engineering practice should be improved, by geomechanical modeling, to arrive at sound adaptive injection strategies to have safe pressure buildup. Potential focus areas are:
- Relation between flow, reactions and geomechanical response
- Integrity and retention capacity of sealing materials
- Improved rock physics models.
Requirements:
Applicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent in a relevant field.
The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.
The fellowship requires admission to the research training programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. An approved plan for the research training, including a project outline, must be submitteed no later than two months after taking up the position, and the admission must be approved within three months.

Salary:
PhD Research Fellow (SKO 1017), pay grade: 45-51 (NOK 355 400 ¿ 394 200 per year, depending on seniority/qualifications)
The application must include:
- Application letter
- CV (summarizing education, positions and academic work - scientific publications)
- Copies of educational certificates and letters of recommendation
- List of publications and academic work that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
- Names and contact details of 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number)
Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University¿s grading system. Please remember that all documents should be in English or a Scandinavian language.
Closing date for applications: 15 May, 2010
The University of Oslo has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure rights to research results a.o.
The University of Oslo has a goal of recruiting more women in academic positions.
Women are encouraged to apply.
The University of Oslo also has a goal of recruiting ethnic minorities to Norway in academic positions. Ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply.
