Research Fellow in Geosolutions: Subsurface Imaging and Uncertainty for Georesources
Join to apply for the Research Fellow in Geosolutions: Subsurface Imaging and Uncertainty for Georesources role at University of Leeds
This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in geophysics and want to apply your skills to solve challenges using sustainable georesources? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive universities?
We are seeking a Research Fellow to fulfil a key role in our project to better understand how to build geophysical models of the subsurface which account for the uncertainty in current geophysical data, in order to assess the potential for sustainable energy production and resource use. You will be a key part of the Geosolutions Centre within the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds and work closely with Dr Andy Nowacki.
You will research, use and build on existing methods to take data about the subsurface (seismic surveys, borehole data, geological mapping and other data) and produce estimates of the physical properties of the subsurface, and crucially, the associated uncertainty on those estimates. Initially, you will focus on geothermal resources in Iceland (Hengill) and Ethiopia (Aluto and Corbetti) using existing seismic data, building on provisional models.
You will have a PhD, or be near to completing a PhD, in geophysics, geostatistics, physics, applied mathematics or a similar discipline with a strong background in data analysis or imaging as applied to the Earth. You will also have the ability to conduct independent research and evidence of peer-reviewed publications in international journals.
What We Offer In Return
* 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
* Generous pension scheme plus life assurance– the University contributes 14.5% of salary
* Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
* Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
* Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.
If you are looking for the chance to use your skills to help discover and develop geothermal resources, apply today.
