Position Summary
The Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at South Dakota Mines is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to support a newly funded U.S. Department of Energy project focused on advanced sensing and characterization for critical minerals. The postdoctoral
researcher will primarily lead and support research in experimental rock mechanics, block-scale laboratory testing, and mechanical development of sensing tool prototypes. The position will involve close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team. This is a full-time, benefited position.
Primary Responsibilities
The successful candidate will contribute to the following activities:
  • Design, prepare, and characterize synthetic rock blocks for controlled laboratory experiments.
  • Develop and conduct block-scale experiments under relevant subsurface conditions.
  • Assist with the mechanical design, fabrication, assembly, and integration of downhole tools.
  • Design experimental fixtures, pressure chambers, tool housings, and other mechanical components.
  • Install and integrate sensors, instrumentation, data-acquisition, and experimental control components.
  • Contribute to technical reports, project meetings, journal publications, and conference presentations.

Required Qualifications
  • A Ph.D. in geological engineering, petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, geomechanics, rock mechanics, or a closely related field by the position start date.
  • Strong background in experimental rock mechanics, geomechanics, or rock-physics testing.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience in laboratory experiment design, equipment operation, or experimental system development.
  • Ability to independently plan, conduct, troubleshoot, and document laboratory experiments.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and effectively within a multidisciplinary research team.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:
  • Preparation, casting, machining, or characterization of synthetic rocks, geomaterials, or ore analogs.
  • Mechanical design using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar software.
  • Downhole tools, wireline logging systems, drilling tools, or subsurface instrumentation.
  • Prototype development, machining, fabrication, and assembly.
  • Sensors, data-acquisition, signal conditioning, control systems, or experimental automation.
  • Pressure vessels, sealing systems, high-pressure fluid systems, and mechanical testing fixtures.
