About this position
This postdoctoral research opportunity at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) focuses on geologic hydrogen generation from high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) water-rock reactions. The project is hosted off-site by the NETL Pittsburgh campus and is part of the Research Innovation Center (RIC) research environment.
Under the mentorship of Isaac Gamwo, the selected researcher will work on understanding natural hydrogen production and fluid flow within geothermal systems. A major part of the project is the design, construction, and operation of a specialized HTHP core-flood system to measure hydrogen production in real time during serpentinization and to track changes in rock permeability.
The research is strongly experimental and will give the participant hands-on experience with high-pressure flow systems, core-flooding methods, and reactive transport experiments. The work is intended to deepen understanding of geochemistry as it relates to subsurface water-rock interactions and hydrogen generation, while also building practical laboratory skills in advanced apparatus development and operation.
The program places the participant in a dynamic laboratory setting where they can develop independence, teamwork, technical communication, and scientific reporting skills. NETL also notes opportunities to contribute to scholarly outputs such as manuscripts, journal articles, conference presentations, posters, and patents.
Funding details
Post-doctoral stipend is $8126 per month; stipend is commensurate with educational level and experience.
What's required
Applicants must have received a doctoral degree within the last five years or be currently enrolled in a doctoral degree program and complete the degree before the appointment start date. Preferred experience includes designing, building, and operating high-temperature, high-pressure experimental apparatus, proficiency in data acquisition methodologies and rigorous scientific analysis, and strong oral and written communication skills. All application materials must be in English or include an official English translation.
