Switzerland: Vacancy as Professor in Geothermal Research and Teaching

Full Professor in Experimental Geothermics (University of Neuchâtel)

Location: University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Starting date: February 1st, 2020 or to be agreed.
Application deadline: August 31st, 2019.

The successful candidate will teach various courses at Bachelor’s and Master’s levels at the Faculty of Science (7 hours/week over the whole year). He/she will also supervise Master’s and PhD dissertations. He/she will conduct high-level international research on experimental aspects of deep geothermics and alternate underground exploitation (e.g. heat storage) that complements existing strengths in numerical modeling.

Experts in geological and geomechanical characterization of fractured reservoirs and stimulated systems at intermediate/large depths are encouraged to apply. Research should focus on key hydro-and thermo-mechanical reservoir processes using experimental approaches in underground laboratories and full-scale geothermal projects.

The successful candidate has a proven funding record with experience in collaborating with industry partners to facilitate technology transfer, and she/he is expected to collaborate with local, national and international partners.
