PhD Position Title: Microfabric analysis of granites, mica shists and volcanic reservoir rocks as function of alteration and deformation. The objective of this PhD project is to investigate how deformation, fluid–rock interaction, and chemical alteration control the microstructural evolution of crystalline and volcanic geothermal reservoir rocks, and how these processes influence petrophysical properties that govern geothermal reservoir performance.
Job Responsibility:
Investigate how deformation, fluid–rock interaction, and chemical alteration control the microstructural evolution of crystalline and volcanic geothermal reservoir rocks, and how these processes influence petrophysical properties that govern geothermal reservoir performance
Establish robust links between microfabric development, mineralogical transformations, and the physical properties controlling fluid flow and reactivity
Integrate high-resolution microstructural observations with inverse and multiscale approaches
Contribute to the upscaling of sample-scale properties towards reservoir-scale numerical models
Requirements:
Applicants must hold: a national Master's degree or a degree conferring the rank of Master (120 ECTS after a Bachelor's degree), or a foreign degree recognized as equivalent and allowing access to doctoral studies
have a strong motivation for interdisciplinary research and the willingness to cooperate within an international team
show excellent command of spoken and written English (mandatory)
must not have a doctoral degree at the date of their recruitment
can be of any nationality
should be enrolled in a doctoral program during the project
should comply with the mobility rules: in general, they must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting organization for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their recruitment date
