Postdoctoral Position in Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics Available at Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in hydro-fracturing (fracking) is
available immediately at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu
Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Masdar Institute is established in collaboration
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research project focuses on
using advanced computational fracture and damage mechanics for simulating
hydro-fracturing of rocks in hydrocarbon fields. The candidate is expected to
have a PhD in the field of geomechanics, or civil engineering with solid
knowledge of hydraulic fracture mechanics and excellent theoretical and
numerical skills. Specifically, we are looking for candidates with experience
and skills in numerical models and experimental techniques for hydraulic fractures, numerical models for
poro-thermo-mechanical effects, theoretical and computational aspects of
fracture mechanics, and extended finite element method. See attached file for more details.
