Happy New Year Sheila!
Would you be able to post this job ad for me in the Geophysics list?
Thanks

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Strathclyde, are seeking to appoint a Research Associate for the EPSRC funded Prosperity Partnership Smart Pumps for Subsurface Engineering, with the Weir Advanced Research Centre. The Civil and Environmental Engineering is a highly multidisciplinary department with a growing portfolio of industry-facing research. Weir Advanced Research Centre, based at Strathclyde’s Technology Innovation Centre, enables senior Weir engineers to work side-by-side with leading engineering academics to develop product solutions and core technology positions which can be leveraged across the Weir Group. The Smart Pumps Prosperity Partnership brings together expertise in rock mechanics, materials, pump design, monitoring, signal processing, control systems from Weir, Strathclyde, the University of Edinburgh and Silixa. This Prosperity Partnership seeks to establish a step change in the technology employed to access, stimulate and prepare subsurface energy resources. This industrially inspired, but socially responsible research is designed to deliver the foundations of a new well stimulation technology that uses numerical modelling, sensing and advanced mechatronic control to enable a precise, targeted, ‘pulsed stimulation’ process that has the potential to create a step change in productivity and reduce environmental impact.
The Research Associate will work on the investigation of the use of advanced sensors and monitoring algorithms alongside recent developments in data processing to create a “closed loop” control system for well stimulation (whereby process parameters are automatically varied to optimise overall system performance). This post is available for 36 months. Initially, the characteristics and deployment geometry of a passive seismic monitoring system will be designed based on existing data from projects that involve well stimulation. Using passive seismic and acoustic data, an automated real-time seismic data processing suite will be developed. At a later stage, both the monitoring network model and the control system architecture will be tested at a ‘live’ site in N. America.
This post will support a developing team of researchers within the Prosperity Partnership Smart Pumps for Subsurface Engineering, in particular through development of capability of a low detection threshold passive seismic monitoring system and an automatic seismic analysis protocol that will allow for real-time feedback to stimulation strategies. You will also benefit from mentoring and integration into two departments, e.g., interacting with researchers in CEE working on problems relating to seismic analysis and in EEE working on sensor network monitoring and advanced analytical tools.
This is a highly cross-disciplinary work package, led by Dr Pytharouli (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering) with expertise in microseismic monitoring and complemented by Dr Lina Stankovic and Dr Vladimir Stankovic (Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department) with expertise in signal processing, optimization and data analytics. You would also benefit from interactions with the multidisciplinary Engineering Geosciences and Geomechanics group of more than 20 researchers, tackling the challenges of energy production and climate change. Furthermore, the PDRA will benefit from the supervisors’ research team experience, exposure to industrial stakeholders and academic partners worldwide through international research exchange activities.
