What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Scholar in Electromagnetic Geophysics position at Lawrence Berkeley Lab?
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Energy Geosciences Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the team.
The Earth Scientist in this postdoctoral position is an outstanding Applied Geophysicist with training and working knowledge in electromagnetic (EM) geophysical methods. You will help manage various EM field data acquisition campaigns for funded geologic carbon storage (GCS) and geothermal projects, and provide processing, modeling, and inversion, interpretation of the results. You will also use various modeling and inversion codes available at LBNL to perform EM sensitivity and survey design studies. Aligned with Energy Geosciences (EGD) strategic direction regarding the sustainable use of the Earth's resources, these methods will be utilized in a variety of contexts relevant to DOE's mission of finding scientific solutions for the sustainable utilization of the subsurface, including characterization and monitoring of geological carbon storage, geothermal systems, oil and gas reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, and groundwater management. You will take advantage of world-class experimental and computational facilities at Berkeley Lab, including LBNL's unique Geosciences Measurement Facility which has extensive resources for novel EM field data acquisition including high-temperature wirelines, downhole tools, recording systems, instrument fabrication facilities, as well as more traditional geophysical instrumentation. Active participation in the writing of proposals is encouraged.
What You Will Do :
- Lead EM field data collection effort for various geologic carbon storage, geothermal and / or groundwater / environmental projects.
- Process EM data that are collected in various projects.
- Use available EM forward modeling and inversion codes for sensitivity studies, survey design, and interpreting data.
- Work with project team members collecting other types of data to provide multi-physics / global interpretation.
- Publish work in peer reviewed journals and present at workshops and conferences
- Contribute to writing proposals.
