Faculty position in Geo-Energy

EPFL’s School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) invites applications for a Faculty position in Geo-Energy related to carbon storage, unconventional hydrocarbons, geothermal energy and geomechanics.

While a tenure-track Assistant Professor is expected to be hired, in exceptional cases appointments as Associate Professor or Full Professor are possible.

Topics of interest cover, but are not limited to:

• Experimental, theoretical or computational mechanical approaches for large-scale engineered geo-energy systems;

• Porous media multiphase flow modelling with a focus on injection and retention of CO2 in geological repositories;

• Underground unconventional resource recovery

The successful candidate will have a strong research background in geo-engineering or/and geomechanics as well as the potential to develop an innovative and internationally recognized research program leading to an outstanding record of scientific accomplishments.

As a faculty member of the Civil Engineering Section, he/she will excel in undergraduate and graduate teaching in the field of engineering geology.

We offer significant start-up resources and internationally competitive salaries and benefits as well as excellent experimental and computational facilities.
