Hamilton, Canada McMaster University Full time
Job Description

Position: Post-Doctoral Fellow
Area: Critical mineral extraction and integrated deep geological repository performance evaluation
Timeframe: 1.5 years with the possibility of extension, depending on progress and funding
Start date: Fall 2024 (negotiable)
Salary: $60,000/year plus benefits
Application Deadline: Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

Description:

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral fellows to work on projects that couple sustainable critical mineral extraction with accelerated carbon mineralization and develop an integrated near-, far-field, and biosphere repository performance evaluation under the supervision of Dr. Adedapo Awolayo at McMaster University. These projects are in collaboration with Rockburst Technologies Inc. (RBT) and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) and aim to understand the processes governing CO2 mineralization during critical mineral (lithium, nickel, copper, and platinum-group elements) extraction from magmatic and ultramafic rocks and radionuclide-water-rock interaction for an integrated repository performance evaluation. A successful candidate for any of these positions will: (a) characterize the rock and in-situ fluid properties to evaluate critical mineral extraction efficiency, CO2 mineralization potential, and radionuclide migration (b) perform elevated temperature-pressure laboratory experiments to examine the rate of carbon mineralization based on the scheme and scale of mineral ore pulverization (c) utilize numerical models to optimize carbonation rates and pulverization efficiency and integrate near- and far-field radionuclide transport; and (d) employ and develop data-driven machine learning models to calibrate the modelling efforts and adapt this approach to conduct techno-economic assessment.

The successful candidate(s) will have the opportunity to work on other active research projects at McMaster University (). Successful candidate(s) will have routine access to the McMaster Research & High-Performance Computing and Digital Research Alliance of Canada clusters and hydrogeologic, geochemical, and reactive transport modelling software, as well as an extensive suite of experimental and analytical tools for characterizing water-rock-gas interactions.

Candidates should have a PhD in Geoscience, Petroleum, Nuclear, Mining, Civil, Environmental, Chemical, or Reservoir Engineering, or a related field. The ideal candidate will have experience characterizing rock mineralogy and/or physical properties, or using numerical models to simulate fluid flow and chemical reactions in geologic formations. Knowledge and experience in machine learning are also valuable. The position generally requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as intellectual independence.

Major Duties/Responsibilities:

Characterize rock flow properties and reactivity in the context of carbon mineralization, mineral ore pulverization, and the evolution of radionuclides of interest. Experimentally or numerically simulate the fate of injected or released fluids, including generating confidence intervals and conducting uncertainty propagation and quantification, and sensitivity analysis. Interact with collaborators (RBT and USNC) on project specific milestones and deliverables. Present and report research results in peer-reviewed journals and to funding agencies in a timely manner. Maintain a safe, collegial, interactive, and welcoming research environment.

Application details:

Interested applicants should contact Dr. Adedapo Awolayo (awolayoa@mcmaster.ca) to apply and/or inquire for more details. Attach in ONE single PDF document the four documents listed below:

a CV accompanied by a list of publications; unofficial academic transcripts; a 2-page cover letter that expresses your interest in this position and summarizes your previous research experience; the contact information of two referees who are familiar with your research and academic experience.

Send the application package to awolayoa@mcmaster.ca. We will continue to review applications until we fill the position, but we will only contact those selected for interviews.
