Postdoctoral Position in Energy Science.

The School of Earth Sciences of The Ohio State University invites applications from outstanding individuals for a postdoc position with the principal emphasis on gaining a fundamental understanding of subsurface processes relevant to various Energy Science applications, including but not limited to CO2 sequestration, oil and gas formation and migration, gas shales and Enhanced Geothermal Systems. The research will involve field based studies coupled with analytical characterization, bench-scale experiments and modeling. Candidates preferably will have experience in one or more of the following: physical and chemical characterization of rock materials, experimental water-rock interaction, and analytical elemental and isotope geochemistry. Experience with modeling flow, transport and geochemical/geomechanical processes will be a plus. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in geology, chemistry, geochemistry or a related field at the time of the appointment. This will be a one-year term appointment with possibility of renewal. Applicants should send a CV, description of research interests, and contact information for at least three references to: Prof. David R. Cole, School of Earth Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 432210-1398 ( cole.618@osu.edu).  We will begin reviewing submissions immediately and will continue to do so until the position is filled.
