Faculty Positions in Geosciences, Petroleum Geology, and Sustainable Energy Resources at China University of Petroleum (Beijing)

The College of Geosciences at China University of Petroleum (Beijing) is inviting applications for multiple tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all ranks, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor. The college is recognized as a leading institution in petroleum geology and geo-energy research, hosting National Key Laboratories and maintaining strong collaborations with major energy companies. The research environment is dynamic, with expanding initiatives in geothermal, hydrogen, helium, and subsurface energy storage. Applicants are sought in a wide range of geoscience areas, including but not limited to petroleum geology and basin analysis, unconventional oil and gas (such as shale oil/gas and tight reservoirs), deep and ultra-deep reservoir formation mechanisms, sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphy, source-to-sink systems, integrated multi-scale reservoir characterization, petrophysics and rock physics, integrated geology–geophysics–engineering workflows, AI-driven subsurface modeling, digital twin and smart reservoir systems, geothermal energy exploration and development, hydrothermal and enhanced geothermal systems, geothermal reservoir simulation and engineering, helium geology and rare gas resources, hydrogen resources and subsurface storage, and subsurface energy and carbon storage (including CCUS and CO₂–EOR/CO₂–EGR). Candidates should have a strong research background in geosciences or related fields, with a demonstrated commitment to advancing frontier research. A PhD in a relevant discipline is required, and experience in research areas such as basin analysis, reservoir characterization, geothermal or hydrogen resources, or carbon storage is highly desirable. The college values excellence in both research and teaching. No specific funding or salary information is provided in the announcement. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the official university website or contact the College of Geosciences for further details on the application process.
