PhD position computational physics: 1 vacant PhD Research Fellow in Computational Physics, Norway is available at the University of Oslo, Norway for the academic year 2011.


Job description and requirements
The Center of Excellence for the Physics of Geological Processes (PGP) at the University of Oslo, Norway is seeking a PhD candidate to work in an interdisciplinary team addressing the basic physical processes relevant for permanent CO2 storage solutions. The PhD position in computational physics will involve the development and application of molecular dynamics and discrete element methods to simulate reactions, deformations, and transport processes. The PhD position in Computational Physics will be conducted in close collaboration with ongoing experimental and field studies of natural carbonization processes occurring in ultramafic rocks. The computational physics aspects of the project will require experience with independent code development and with discrete element modeling of surface deformation processes.

The successful PhD candidate, who has a Masters degree in Physics, will work in a lively cross-disciplinary and international environment (fifteen nationalities are currently represented in PGP). PGP is a cross-disciplinary science centre at the interface between physics and geology where geological processes are approached by integrated field, experimental, theoretical, and computer modeling studies. This PhD position in computational physics aims to develop interpersonal skills of the candidate based on his/her interest in the area of computational physics.

PhD Position and salary:
PhD Research Fellow in computational physics, pay grade 45-51 (NOK 355 400 – 394 200) per year, depending on seniority/qualifications.

The application for the PhD position in Computational Physics must include:
  • Application letter
  • CV (summarizing education, positions and academic work)
  • Copies of educational certificates and letters of recommendation
  • List of publications and academic work that the PhD applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
  • Names and contact details of 2-3 referees (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number)
Foreign applicants for this PhD position in Computational Physics, Norway are advised to attach an explanation of their University’s grading system. Please remember that all documents should be in English or a Scandinavian language.
