New Zealand: Opportunity to Research Thermochemistry of Supercritical Geothermal Systems

Vacancy - Postdoc Experimental Geochemist - GNS Science 

Thermochemistry of supercritical geothermal systems, Taupo Volcanic Zone New Zealand

We are seeking a post-doctoral level researcher with a strong interest in laboratory studies of fluid-rock interactions in super-critical geothermal systems. The research will include laboratory simulations of fluid-rock interactions, re-injection of off-gases from geothermal facilities (CO2, H2S), and tracer chemical stability at super critical conditions.

The successful candidate will engage with other Wairakei geochemists in discussion of geothermal chemistry and other aspects pertaining to geothermal systems. Depending on the applicant's background, specialist skills may cover one or more of reactive transport modelling, experimental geochemistry, and products of fluid-rock-material interaction with fluids. The goal is to task the post-doctorate team member with complementing and advancing the specialised experimental geochemistry skills currently present within the group.
