Job Description
Position Overview<br>KU is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to work on a funded project to investigate the applicability of novel polymers to UAE carbonate reservoirs under harsh conditions of high temperature and high salinity.<br><br>The project will specifically focus on conducting thermal and salinity screening tests, viscoelasticity measurements, rheological testing, coreflooding tests, as well as static and dynamic adsorption tests. Effect of pre-shearing on injectivity of these novel polymers will be tested too. Most of these tests will be conducted using representative carbonate cores from UAE reservoirs.<br><br>As part of the project, the researcher will have access to state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities at ADRIC and Petroleum Engineering Labs, and will get an opportunity to work alongside researchers and graduate students from various backgrounds as part of a wider team.<br><br><br>Position Requirements<br>路 To provide high-quality research support and undertake internationally competitive research aimed at publication thereby contributing to the academic and research mission of the University.<br>路 Ability to present research plans and findings in a convincing style, both in oral and written modes of communication.<br>路 Capability to run common laboratory equipment for research on chemical EOR with experience on using both coreflooding rigs and rheometers.<br>路 Ability to record results in professional manner and aptitude to correlate obtained data in a meaningful manner<br>路 Adhere to the University’s information security and confidentiality policies and procedures, and report breaches or other security risks accordingly<br>路 Perform any other tasks assigned by the Line Manager
