Tenure-line Position in Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University

The Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-line faculty appointment. The position is at the assistant professor level. It is desired that the selected candidate be able to start by January 2012.

The Department of Energy Resources Engineering focuses on a wide range of activities related to the recovery of the Earth’s energy resources (e.g., hydrocarbons, geothermal, and renewables). The Department also has active research programs on carbon sequestration and clean energy conversions. ERE offers degrees in both energy resources engineering (B.S., M.S., Ph.D.) and petroleum engineering (M.S., Ph.D.). The ideal candidate should have research and teaching interests beyond traditional petroleum engineering disciplines.

We seek scholars with a Ph.D. in a relevant field with novel and innovative research interests in energy resources, such as in one or more of the following areas:

  1. Energy systems modeling and optimization, for example integration of energy recovery and carbon sequestration
  2. Engineering of enhanced geothermal systems
  3. Recovery of unconventional energy resources, such as coalbed gas, shale gas or gas hydrates
  4. Renewable energy resources

Questions may be directed to Sandy Costa, Department Manager, scosta@stanford.edu.
