Postdoc position in CO2 storage research – DTU Chemistry

Company:

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet

Job description

Job Description:The Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemistry is seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher to contribute to our CO2 storage project “CO2plus: Phase behavior of CO2+X in CO2 storage.”CO2plus focuses on understanding the phase behavior of CO2 with different impurities or fluids at storage sites. We aim to acquire systematic knowledge and develop modeling approaches to analyze the complex phase behavior during CO2 injection and storage. The project involves experimental measurement, phase behavior modeling, and integration of the developed models into simulation analysis of injection risks and storage issues. The project is under the Innovation Fund Denmark’s Grand Solutions program. The recruited postdoc will work mainly on modeling and simulation analysis in collaboration with other researchers in the project.The CERE group at DTU Chemistry possesses extensive expertise in both experimental measurement and modelling of high-pressure phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties. Furthermore, the group excels in development of efficient phase equilibrium calculation algorithms for compositional simulations. The project is supported by a robust consortium of industrial and academic partners, ensuring that the high-level research remains relevant and applicable in real-world contexts.Responsibilities and qualifications
The postdoc will work on the integration of thermodynamic models for CO2-rich mixtures into simulation analysis. It involves the implementation of thermodynamic models for these mixtures and the development of reliable computation algorithms.As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in areas such as chemical engineering, chemistry, petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, and mathematics.Overall, we are specifically seeking candidates who have, or are willing quickly to acquire the following skills:

• Phase equilibrium calculation algorithms and their integration into dynamic CO2 storage simulation
• Thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties related to CO2-rich mixtures

The candidates should possess strong programming skills. It is an advantage to be familiar with thermodynamics and dynamic simulation since the project involves compositional simulations of various phenomena in CO2 injection wells, near wellbore regions, and CO2 transport pipelinesWe offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.The postdoc position is for a period of 2 years with a possibility of further extension. We will start the position as soon as possible (or according to mutual agreement).You can read more about .Further information
