Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Deformation -Driven Solute Transport

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the
Poromechanics Lab, led by Prof. Chris MacMinn, in the Department of
Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is part of the major ERC
Starting Grant project DEFTPORE: “Deformation Control on Flow and Transport in
Soft Porous Media”, and is for a fixed term of three months.





The aim of the project is to combine high-resolution experiments with
theoretical modelling to revolutionize our fundamental understanding of, and
predictive modelling capabilities for, the coupling of flow, transport, and
deformation in soft porous media. You will be responsible for the development
and execution of experiments as part of a collaborative team.





You should possess a PhD/DPhil (or be near completion with thesis submitted)
in engineering or a related discipline and have a strong background in flow
through porous media, solute transport, and poroelasticity.





Informal enquiries may be addressed to Chris MacMinn
christopher.macminn@eng.ox.ac.uk.

covering letter/supporting statement (describing how your research interests,
past experience, and future plans fit with the advertised position), a CV, and
the details of two referees.
