Knowledge Transfer Associate for CO2 Storage

9 hours ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time
Job Description

The Opportunity:

This is a fixed-term position for 30 months, working full-time (35 hours per week) at the University of Edinburgh's headquarters, with occasional visits to the University's facilities. The post will be jointly supervised by the University and Carbon Capture Scotland.

The University of Edinburgh and Carbon Capture Scotland have been awarded a Knowledge Transfer Partnership to repurpose a UK nearshore oil field for the injection and storage of biogenic CO2. This innovative project combines academic expertise in CO2 injection and storage with the dynamic energy and enterprising spirit of Carbon Capture Scotland to accelerate Scotland's transition to Net Zero.

We are seeking a highly talented, independent, and motivated candidate for a 30-month fixed-term Knowledge Transfer Associate who will undertake research on how to repurpose a small, depleted nearshore oil production field into a permanent CO2 storage facility. This will subsequently be used to permanently store biogenic CO2 and facilitate the Greenhouse Gas Removals that Scotland requires to achieve Net-Zero.

Working jointly with the University and Carbon Capture Scotland, you will undertake the geological and engineering feasibility studies required to apply for a 'CO2 storage appraisal licence' for the candidate field and nearby areas. You will also progress the regulatory, geological, and engineering studies to the required maturity level to potentially allow the conversion of the 'CO2 storage appraisal licence' into a 'CO2 injection permit', paving the way for the injection of biogenic CO2 for geological storage within the candidate field. You will also make comparisons with the geological features and licensing procedures of commercial CO2 storage sites in Denmark, Norway, and Iceland.

Your Skills and Attributes for Success:
  • Relevant MSc or postgraduate experience in geoscience, including rock identification, structure, faults, with expertise in subsurface exploitation of fluids in sedimentary rocks.
  • Trained or skilled in the geological interpretation of wireline logs, seismic reflection interpretation, and subsurface mapping skills and knowledge or experience of drilling processes and technologies.
  • Proven ability to problem-solve and organise logistics, with proven ability to work independently and efficiently to set deadlines.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills and proven ability to work as a member of a team.
  • Experience of authoring publications in the peer-reviewed literature.
About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a world-leading research-intensive University and a dynamic company leading Scotland's decarbonisation efforts. As a Knowledge Transfer Associate, you will be part of the national Knowledge Transfer Partnerships scheme and entitled to specialist management training and a professional development budget.

You will also have the opportunity to work with an exciting and dynamic company, leading Scotland's decarbonisation efforts, and be part of a diverse and vibrant international community.

What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary of Grade UE07 £39,347 to £46,974 per annum.
  • An exciting, positive, creative, challenging, and rewarding place to work.
  • To be part of a diverse and vibrant international community.
  • As a KTP Associate, you will be part of the national Knowledge Transfer Partnerships scheme and entitled to specialist management training and a professional development budget.
  • You will also have the opportunity to work with an exciting and dynamic company, leading Scotland's decarbonisation efforts.
  • Comprehensive staff benefits, including a generous holiday entitlement, a defined benefits pension scheme, staff discounts, family-friendly initiatives, and flexible work options.
