Job opportunity (researcher level “A”) in the area of rock
              physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico,
              Geosciences Center - campus Juriquilla. 
                  Within the
            framework of the 2014-2018 research development plan, the
            Center of Geosciences (CGEO) from the National Autonomous
            University of Mexico (UNAM), located in the Juriquilla
            Campus, offers a research position (Investigador Titular
            “A”) in the area of “Physical characterization of porous and
            fractured media” with the following particular requirements:

                  We are seeking
            qualified and experienced applicants for research in the
            area physical characterization of fractured and porous media
            with a focus on rock materials specific for oil and gas,
            geothermal or hydrogeological reservoirs. The main research
            activities are associated with the study of porosity,
            permeability and thermal conductivity properties of rocks at
            different P-T conditions specific for a variety of
            geological systems. Recognized and strong expertise in the
            following research directions is particularly welcome:
            building analytical and/or numerical models in order to
            estimate hydrogeological properties of geological reservoirs
            during its evolution, quantification of physical properties
            of rocks (i.e. porosity) using high-resolution X-ray
            computing tomography and specialized software, modeling
            hydraulic conditions for fluids in different porous and
            fractured media, and advanced studies of permeability,
            porosity, fluid migration and petrophysical characterization
            of rocks specific for oil and gas and geothermal reservoirs.
            Based on the current CGEO research development plan, the
            candidate will join and consolidate the CGEO research group
            involved in Natural recourses and energy. Additionally, the
            candidate is expected to perform interdisciplinary research
            with Solid Earth researchers.
                  Concerning
            lecturing and outreach: the candidate is expected to
            actively participate in Postgraduate teaching and
            directing/supervising thesis at MS.c and Ph.D level.
            Furthermore, the candidate is expected to participate in
            different outreach activities.
      About
              the UNAM Geosciences Center 
                  The
            UNAM Center of Geosciences (CGEO) represents an important
            regional scientific hub located in the Juriquilla Campus
            (Queretaro). The central aim of CGEO is to perform
            interdisciplinary research (basic and applied) in the field
            of Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry. Additionally, CGEO
            aims to train future top scientists, and in the same time,
            to disseminate geosciences knowledge at different education
            levels. CGEO hosts around 60 scientists of different
            backgrounds, and offers access to a modern research
            infrastructure. For more information please visit CGEO web
