Beca Predoctoral Marie Curie en Mineralogía

MINERAL SCALE FORMATION: FROM THE ATOMIC TO THE FIELD LEVEL

A Marie Curie Fellowship (Early Stage Researcher), leading to a doctoral degree, is available at the Institute für Mineralogie, University of Münster, Germany as part of the above Marie Curie ITN Network, in cooperation with the Universities of Leeds, Toulouse, Copenhagen, Iceland and Oslo, together with Industrial Partners Maersk Olie og Gas A/S, Reykjavik Energy and WestSystems. 

The research themes of MINSC relate to the mechanisms nucleation, growth and inhibition of mineral scale formation in industrial processes. Scale formation is a common and costly phenomenon in many industrial processes that deal with water or other fluid handling systems (i.e., wells, heat exchangers, tanks and delivery lines, etc.). In these settings precipitation of scale minerals in pipes, on equipment or as fracture filling has a detrimental effect on process efficiency, cost and lifetime of processing technologies. Scale formation is encountered in a large number of industries including paper-making, chemical manufacturing, cement operations, food processing, as well as non-renewable, (i.e., oil and gas) and renewable (i.e., geothermal) energy production. 

The specific research topic based in Münster will focus on experimental studies of the factors that control nucleation, growth and inhibition of barite (BaSO4) and barite solid solutions, common scale formers in oil wells. Experimental methods will include in situ studies in an Atomic Force Microscope as well as analogous experiments in larger flow-through reactors. The project may also develop to study nucleation and growth of other mineral scale phases. 

The normal eligibility requirements of Marie Curie Fellowships apply. Researchers must be nationals of a country other than the country of the host organisation where they will carry out the project, and must not have resided in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to date of selection by the host institution. The applicant must also satisfy the requirements to register as a doctoral student in Münster, which generally involves holding an appropriate Diploma or Masters degree. Marie Curie Fellowships have substantial benefits, both in salary and in mobility and family allowances. The duration of the Fellowships are 36 months. 

Applications are welcome from students with any relevant earth science, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science background. The applicant should have a good command of both written and spoken English. The Marie Curie Fellowship is planned to begin after September 2012. Prospective applicants should contact Prof. Andrew Putnis.
