• Strong background in fluid-mineral interaction

Responsibilities

• Conduct fundamental investigations of mineral-water-gas properties
• Develop predictive models and experimental methods
• Collaborate with team members to achieve project goals
• Merge data from traditional techniques with ultrahigh resolution instruments

Skills

• Expertise in water-mineral interaction, surface/interface chemistry, and organic chemistry
• Proficiency in particle characterization techniques such as SEM and TEM
• Experience with molecular modeling and geostatistics
• Familiarity with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

Education

• PhD degree in geochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, mineralogy, natural materials surface science, geostatistics, or physics

Tools

• Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, molecular dynamics software
