Thanks to generous support from Total R&D, a global oil and gas company, the Department of Earth Science and Engineering wishes to appoint a Total Chair in Petroleum Engineering. The appointment will be at professorial level and the successful candidate will be an engineer, with an interest in improved oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. Possible research topics include reservoir dynamics, complex processes in enhanced oil recovery, chemical and CO2 flooding applied to fractured reservoirs, micro-to-field-scale modelling and experiment and fundamental studies of wettability. Experimental skills in complex core flooding would be valuable. The successful candidate will build and lead an internationally prominent research group that will complement existing research strengths in petroleum geoscience, geophysics and engineering within the department.
The successful candidate will have a record of engagement with industry, have published widely in research journals and have the ability to obtain external research grants.
