The positions are part of the recently established VISTA Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics (VISTA CSD). The center will involve approximately 40 people, including faculty, researchers, postdocs and PhD students. MSc students will also be integrated in center activities.

Fore more details, please see:

PhD position in mathematically oriented geophysics on development of methodology for seismic monitoring of coupled processes in the subsurface. Contact: Prof. Morten Jakobsen, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bergen, morten.jakobsen@uib.no
PhD position in computational mathematics on development, implementation and analysis of efficient and reliable solvers for flow in deformable porous media. Contact: Prof. Florin Radu, Department of Mathematics, University of Bergen, Florin.Radu@uib.no
PhD position in applied and computational mathematics on mathematical models and solution approaches to rupture dynamics including advanced friction laws in the presence of fluids. Contact: Assoc. Prof. Kundan Kumar, Department of Mathematics, University of Bergen, Kundan.Kumar@uib.no

About VISTA CSD

VISTA CSD’s primary objective is to develop fundamental knowledge and educate next generation researchers to understand how subsurface fluid injection and extraction results in deformation, fault reactivation and fracturing.

The center thus targets critical and fundamental research questions through mathematical and numerical modeling and data analysis.

VISTA Progam

VISTA CSD is financed by the program VISTA in the period from 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2025.

VISTA is a basic research program financed by the Equinor and executed in close cooperation with The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.

New MaPSI positions at the Department of Mathematics

One 3 yrs+ postdoc position and one permanent researcher position available within applied and computational mathematics for geoscience. The positions are part of the ERC Consolidator Grant MaPSI and will be integrated in VISTA CSD.

New VISTA centre will model fluid flow in porous media

Announcement from the VISTA program

Professor of applied mathematics Inga Berre at the University of Bergen heads a VISTA research centre that will develop basic knowledge about how fluids flow in porous media.
