About the Job

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in Thermodynamics and Porous Media Science. This is a temporary position with a main goal of qualifying for work in senior academic positions.

Job Description

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be part of Porelab, a research centre of excellence within Porous media. PoreLab is a Norwegian Center of Excellence created in 2017 and situated at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, and the University of Oslo (UiO). The Center, which is supported by the Research Council of Norway, is an interdisciplinary Center with joint efforts in theory, computer simulations and experiments, in fundamental and applied directions. The main goal of the center is to develop theories, principles, tools and methods to reduce the trial and error approach to porous media with relevance in biology, chemistry, geology and geophysics based on fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

Research Theme 8

The Postdoctoral position will be within Research Theme 8, which concerns the use of improved theories to describe transport in porous media in important applications. The objective of Research Theme 8 is to apply knowledge from Research Themes 1-7 to: 1) Design more efficient electrochemical systems such as batteries and systems with ion-selective membranes. 2) Describe moisture migration in insulation materials. 3) Enhance the understanding of biological systems. 4) Study porous materials for transport and storage of hydrogen. The Postdoctoral candidate will work with one of these topics, where the choice will depend on the interests and qualifications of the candidate.

Responsibilities
  • Challenge the research frontiers in the nexus between thermodynamics and porous media science.
  • Write academic papers and submit them to international scientific journals.
  • Participate in international scientific conferences.
Requirements
  • You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD in thermodynamics or another relevant area.
  • If you can document that the PhD thesis has been submitted, your application can be assessed even if you have not yet defended your dissertation. Documentation of the obtained doctoral degree must be presented before you can take up the position.
  • Excellent competence and extensive background in thermodynamics.
  • Excellent written and oral skills in English.
  • Extensive experience with programming.
Preferred Selection Criteria
  • Interest for and competence in porous media science
