We seek a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow who will develop advanced approaches for modeling and/or monitoring the processes associated with exchanging fluids and gases in subsurface geologic systems.  The successful applicant will have broad latitude to focus on production from gas hydrate and other hydrocarbon sources, gas injection, fluid production, or multiple of these areas.  We will provide a computing environment that includes leading numerical reservoir modeling software options including the   TOUGH+HYDRATE   and   STOMP-HYDT-KE   codes, along with the   E3D   elastic wave propagation system, and the USGS’ world-class   high-performance computing systems .  Further, we can provide field data from current cutting edge research programs such as the ongoing Alaska Gas Hydrate production test that provides a wealth of characterization and monitoring data including surface 3D seismic data, four research boreholes with extensive log data, fiber optic distributed acoustic...

Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor focusing on Freshwater. Freshwater resources are increasingly being taxed by the regional impacts of climate, land-use, and population changes. The greater frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts has taken its toll in many regions. Around the world, groundwater storage is declining, pollution is increasing, surface water reservoir storage is low, and major reservoir development has plateaued. Consequently, transboundary and sectoral competition for freshwater has grown. New approaches to quantitative analysis of freshwater systems are key to enhancing sustainability. We invite candidates that have completed or will soon complete their PhD in the area of freshwater (including natural sciences, engineering, and related fields) to apply. The successful candidate will serve as a tenure-track Assistant professor in Stanford’s Doerr School for Sustainability. Candidates must have an exceptional...
