Hires in Energy Geoscience
Jackson School of Geosciences The University of Texas at Austin

The Jackson School of Geosciences is expanding its program in Energy Geoscience by seeking outstanding scientists able to collaborate across disciplines and having expertise in one of the two following fields:

• Rock mechanics or rock physics. This research could be applied to exploration and development of unconventional hydrocarbons, the role of fluids in natural rock deformation, or improving seismic modeling. Approaches include experimental determination of stress-strain relations, microacoustic properties of stressed rocks, or the relationship of rock properties to their seismic P- and S-wave response.
• Interpretive reflection seismology. This research on sedimentary basins at either basin-scale or reservoir-scale would use industry or academic 2D and 3D seismic data. We seek individuals to span the gap between detailed mapping of seismic data and theoretical analysis to improve understanding of reservoir systems or sedimentary basins and their hydrocarbon systems.

Appointments include both faculty and research scientists. However, we are particularly interested in those seeking research scientist positions in either the Bureau of Economic Geology or the Institute for Geophysics. For more information on the school and its hiring program, visit us online at www.jsg.utexas.edu/hiring.

A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. An application should note the title of the advertisement you are responding to and include a cover letter, CV, list of publications, list of references, statements of research and/or teaching interests, sent to Randal Okumura, Office of the Dean / Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin / PO Box B, University Station / Austin, TX78713 or jobs@jsg.utexas.edu.

Research Associate (Post-doctoral researcher),
Geologic/Reservoir Modeling
University of Colorado at Boulder

The Energy and Minerals Applied Research Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder is seeking candidates to fill a Research Associate (Post-doctoral researcher) position in petroleum geologic/reservoir modeling. The position will be for 1 year, beginning in spring/summer 2009, depending on available funding. The individual will conduct research that involves multi-scale data analyses and geologic/reservoir modeling. The project involves analysis and modeling of the Red Wing Creek field in North Dakota. This field produces from a meteorite impact, and is highly fractured reservoir. Therefore, a background in structural geology and fracture modeling is desirable. The individual will work in a team-oriented research program. Candidates must have a background in modern concepts of petroleum geologic/reservoir modeling. Specific experience with Petrel modeling software is required. General computer programming skills are desirable. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Interested candidates should send a complete curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of at least three references to: Professor Paul Weimer, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado at Boulder, 399 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0399, or paul.weimer@colorado.edu. The University of Colorado is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment.
