The Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department at the United Arab Emirates University is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct advanced research on fines migration and its implications for hydrocarbon recovery and reservoir management. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, and contribute to scientific advancements in the field of petroleum engineering. Key Responsibilities • Conduct experimental and theoretical studies on fines migration in porous media, including its impact on permeability, formation damage, and oil recovery. • Develop models and simulations to predict fines behavior under various reservoir conditions. • Design and execute laboratory experiments to investigate fines mobilization, deposition, and control mechanisms. • Analyze data and interpret findings to generate high-quality research outputs. • Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at international conferences. • Collaborate with faculty, industry partners, and research groups to align research objectives with industry needs. • Mentor graduate students and assist in proposal writing for securing external funding.

Education: • PhD in Petroleum Engineering, or a closely related field. Technical Expertise: • Strong background in fines migration, formation damage, or reservoir engineering. • Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment (e.g., core flooding apparatus, particle analyzers). • Proficiency in reservoir simulation software and computational modeling tools. Research Skills: • Proven track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. • Experience with data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).

• Knowledge of enhanced oil recovery techniques and their interaction with fines migration. • Experience with advanced characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or X-ray computed tomography (CT). • Familiarity with industry-standard software like CMG, Eclipse, or Petrel.
