Job Title: UTIG Geomechanics Postdoctoral Fellow

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team at the University of Texas at Austin's Institute for Geophysics (UTIG). The successful candidate will have expertise in laboratory experimentation with a focus on rock mechanics and fluid flow in porous media, or analysis and modeling of drilling, geodetic, or seismological data.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct research focused on laboratory experimentation and/or analysis of geophysical and drilling data, with a focus on deformation and fluid flow in Earth materials.
  • Develop independent research projects and/or co-mentor students if desired; contribute to and lead research within a vibrant group of students, postdocs, and laboratory staff working on problems in geofluids, geomechanics, and tectonics.
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Geophysics, Geosciences, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related field within the last three years.
  • Experience in laboratory experimentation focused on the investigation of rock, sediment, or soil deformation and rheology; friction; hydrological properties; and/or ultrasonic measurements.
  • Familiarity with analysis of laboratory, drilling, or other geophysical data, and/or computational approaches to the study of coupled deformation and fluid flow.
What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary of $65,000.
  • The opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and students.
  • Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment.
How to Apply:
