Dear All,

please forward this job announcement to motivated students. Thank you!

PhD position in Structural Geology / Geomechanics / Engineering Geology

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to work on a research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi).

Your qualification
• M.Sc. or equivalent degree in Geology or a closely related discipline
• profound knowledge in structural geology, geomechanics, rock mechanical testing and/or numerical modelling
• good communication and computing skills

Your tasks
• characterization of fracture networks using terrestrial laser scanner and photogrammetry
• rock mechanical testing
• development and application of methodologies to upscale hydraulic and mechanical rock parameters from the lab and outcrop scale to the scale of numerical reservoir models with cell sizes typically in the range of 10th to 100th of meters
• proof of concept for two case studies

The PhD position is funded for three years. Salary level and benefits are equivalent to 75% TV 13 (TV - TU Darmstadt). The Technical University Darmstadt aims at increasing the number of women in science and therefore explicitly encourages applications from female candidates. Disabled persons will be given preference in case of equal qualification.

Applications must include a CV, grade transcripts, and a cover letter stating research interests and motivation for applying. Please submit your application (combined in one pdf document and giving “Kenn-Nr. 375” as reference) in electronic format to Mrs. Stefanie Kollmann, Institute of Applied Geoscience, Germany (email: [log in to unmask]). Evaluation of applications will start on August 30, 2018 and continues until the position is filled.

For further information regarding the PhD position please contact Prof. Dr. Andreas Henk (email: [log in to unmask]).
