Post-doctoral opportunity
A two-year post-doctoral researcher position is available at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Stavanger in Norway with the industry-funded consortium project, Caribbean Basins, Tectonics, and Hydrocarbons (CBTH). The CBTH project involves a GIS-based synthesis and interpretation of geologic, seismic and well data from northern South America. Experience supported by academic publications will be considered in the following areas: Landmark and Petrel-based workstations and interpretation of both 2D and 3D seismic data, quantitative subsidence analysis using wells, 2D flexural analysis, quantitative structural restoration of geologic and seismic data, ArcMap, database managment, and regional geologic and tectonic integrations. Excellent communication skills are expected as the candidate will contribute to and author reports, presentations and publications along with interacting with company sponsors during visits and annual meetings. Since the Phase II project will be based at two universities, UT Austin and the University of Stavanger in Norway, the postdoc will be expected to divide their time between both locations. We seek dedicated young scientists with strong publication records and longterm career goals to become either full-time faculty or researchers at academic institutions. The projected start date is September 1, 2008. A detailed description of the CBTH study can be viewed at:
