European Geosciences Union (EGU)

About the Company

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. It was established in September 2002 as a merger of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) and the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), and has headquarters in Munich, Germany. It is a non-profit international union of scientists with over 20,000 members from all over the world. Membership is open to individuals who are professionally engaged in or associated with geosciences and planetary and space sciences and related studies, including students and retired seniors. The EGU has a current portfolio of 18 diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organises a number of topical meetings, and education and outreach activities. It also honours scientists with a number of awards and medals. The annual EGU General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting over 16,000 scientists from all over the world each year. The meeting's sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth's internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources. # # # Imprint: https://www.egu.eu/imprint/ Site notice Information provided according to Sec. 5 German Telemedia Act (TMG): Union europeenne des geosciences (EGU) Ecole et Observatoire de Physique du Globe 5 rue Rene Descartes 67084 Strasbourg Cedex France Register entry: Tribunal d'Instance de Strasbourg Volume Ndeg41, Folio Ndeg 115 Represented by: (EGU President) Contact: Simone Aechter Kastenbauerstrasse 2 81677 Munich Germany +49-89-2050-76300 secretariat@egu.eu Responsible for contents acc. to Sec. 55, para. 2 German Federal Broadcasting Agreement (RstV): Hazel Gibson Kastenbauerstrasse 2 81677 Munich Germany +49-89-2050-76341 communications@egu.eu

Job Description

**Job Title** Postdoctoral Researcher – Numerical Modeling (Geophysical & Thermomechanical Processes) **Role Summary** Conduct independent research to develop and apply advanced thermomechanical and fluid–rock interaction models for quantifying serpentinization rates in deeply buried ultramafic mantle bodies. Collaborate with university and industry partners, integrate multidisciplinary geophysical datasets, and create physics‑guided neural network surrogates for inversion and uncertainty analysis. **Expactations** - Complete a 18‑month research project starting July 2026. - Produce high‑quality scientific deliverables (reports, publications, code). - Communicate results to internal teams and external collaborators. - Participate in periodic research visits to the University of Texas at Austin. **Key Responsibilities** - Design and implement forward thermomechanical‑hydrological modeling frameworks (viscoelastic compaction, pore‑fluid pressure, fracture dilation). - Simulate coupled processes governing mantle serpentinization in 2D/3D domains. - Quantify volumetric serpentinization rates and spatial distribution. - Integrate gravimetric, seismic, and magnetotelluric data into models. - Develop and validate Physics‑Guided Neural Network (PGNN) surrogate models for inversion and uncertainty quantification. - Document code, methodologies, and results; contribute to peer‑reviewed publications. - Mentor junior staff or interns as needed. **Required Skills** - Numerical modeling of deformation, fluid‑rock interaction, or thermomechanics (finite‑element, viscoelastic, poro‑elastic). - Strong programming in Python and at least one of C++ / Fortran. - Experience with geophysical inversion techniques and neural network applications. - Ability to work independently and within multidisciplinary teams. - Excellent written and oral communication in English. **Required Education & Certifications** - Ph.D. in Geophysics, Geodynamics, Computational Geosciences, or a closely related field. - No additional certifications required.
