Graduate Student in Molecular Dynamics of Complex Hydrocarbons: University of Wyoming · Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering United States, Laramie

 Description

Positions are available at the University of Wyoming Department of Petroleum Engineering for graduate students interested in computational chemistry.  In particular, projects focus on molecular dynamics of complex hydrocarbon fluids under nano-confinement.  Applicants will learn how to use state-of-the-art high performance computing for advanced molecular modeling simulations to analyze hydrocarbon phase behavior in nanoporous media typical of tight shale rocks.
Applicants will be expected to complete a series of course requirements in both the chemistry and engineering.  They should have a good background in organic and physical chemistry, be self-motivated, hardworking and possess or be willing to learn computer programming skills.  Living stipends and health insurance are available to competitive applicants.
