Job Description
The Department of Energy Science and Engineering (ESE) at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor level. We are seeking exceptional candidates with a strong commitment to research and teaching in the broad area of sustainable subsurface energy systems with a particular emphasis on geothermal energy orsubsurface hydrogen production and storage.
Research Focus:
We are particularly interested in candidates who use theoretical numerical and/or experimental research to address fundamental and applied problems in geothermal energy and hydrogen in the subsurface. Potential areas of research include but are not limited to:
- Geothermal Energy:
- Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) superhot rock (SHR) and advanced geothermal concepts.
- Subsurface fluid flow heat transfer and rock mechanics in geothermal reservoirs
- Advanced drilling and completion technologies for geothermal wells
- Geophysical and geochemical characterization of geothermal systems
- Modeling simulation and optimization of underground geothermal processes
- Hybrid geothermal systems and integrated energy solutions
- Hydrogen:
- Underground hydrogen detection and production (e.g. serpentinization radiolysis pyrolysis).
- Hydrogen retention and loss mechanisms in the subsurface
- Subsurface hydrogen storage (e.g. in depleted reservoirs salt caverns)
- Assessment and verification of hydrogen storage
- Modeling simulation and optimization of underground hydrogen processes
- Hybrid geological hydrogen and geothermal systems
The successful candidate is expected to develop an internationally recognized externally funded research program contribute to the teaching mission of the department at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and advise Ph.D. students. Stanford offers an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary collaboration across departments such as Geophysics Civil & Environmental Engineering Earth and Planetary Science Materials Science & Engineering Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering as well as institutes like the Precourt Institute for Energy and the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.
Qualifications:
Applicants must possess a Ph.D. by the time of appointment in a relevant field such as Energy Engineering Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering Petroleum Engineering Civil & Environmental Engineering Geophysics Geology or a closely related discipline. We seek candidates with a demonstrated record of research excellence and a strong potential for developing innovative research and teaching programs.
Application Materials:
Candidates should submit the following:
- Cover Letter
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) including a list of publications
- Research Statement (maximum 3 pages) outlining research interests accomplishments and future plans
- Teaching Statement (maximum 1 page) describing teaching philosophy and experience
- Names and contact information for three references
Application Deadline: Application materials need to be submitted online at deadline to submit your application is October:00pm PST. Late applications will not be accepted.
