Pore-Scale Reservoir Researcher – Multiphase Flow Imaging

Antje van der Net; Trondheim; On-site; NOK 540,000 - 740,000; Full time

Job summary

NTNU in Trondheim invites applications for a 12-month research position at the Department of Geosciences within the Well and Reservoir group, funded by PoreLab. The project aims to develop experimental proof to validate multiphase flow theories at the Darcy scale using pore-scale imaging and numerical modelling.

The researcher will collaborate closely with Associate Professor Antje van der Net and Professors Alex Hansen and Carl Fredrik Berg, with the head of IGV as immediate supervisor.

Qualifications

• Minimum a PhD in a relevant STEM subject area.
• Strong background in thermodynamics and experimental experience in a fluid mechanics laboratory.
• Good written and oral English.

Responsibilities

• Research on multiphase fluid flow description at the pore level using pore-scale imaging.
