Hires in Energy Geoscience

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:
