Open Positions
Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Modeling of Oil and Gas Flow
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics, in the Faculty of Science
of Dalhousie University, is soliciting applications from excellent candidates
for a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the mathematical modelling of
oil and gas flow. The successful candidate will work with researchers in the
Departments of Earth Sciences and Oceanography, and in the Faculty of
Engineering, on modelling problems arising in the petroleum industry.
The skills required by this person include:
- (1) Experience in developing mathematical models of fluid flow
or the use of signal analysis
for application to flow assurance in the petroleum industry.
- (2) Knowledge of numerical techniques for solving differential
equations, differential-algebraic equations, optimization problems and
stochastic differential equations.
- (3) Scientific computing skills in a mixture of environments and
languages, and expertise in the area of parallel computing for large
scale problems.
- (4) Experience in working with experts in geoscience and petroleum
engineering.
The deadline for applications is 1 March 2005.
Applications should be sent to:
- Dr. P. Keast, Chair
- Department of Mathematics & Statistics
- Dalhousie University
- Halifax, NS
- B3H 3J5, Canada
-
- email: keast@mathstat.dal.ca
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permane
nt residents will be given priority.
Dalhousie University is an Employment Equity/Affirmative Action employer. The U
niversity encourages applications from
qualified Aboriginal people, persons with a disability, racially visible persons
