Geochemist

The Geochemist will work primarily in a laboratory environment with the CTO to investigate geochemical processes in the geothermal, mining and CO2 sequestration industries. The individual will lead the investigation of CO2 sequestration potential, conduct analysis of geochemical datasets for geothermal exploration, and collaborate on projects for in-situ rare earth element and mineral recovery. The individual will work closely with our industry and academic partners to investigate the geochemical processes for in-situ mineral recovery. The scope of work includes preparing proposals and grants for US funding opportunities, laboratory investigation of electro-chemical processes for mineral recovery, evaluation and assessment of geothermal resource potential from geochemical analysis, and investigation of geochemical processes for enhanced CO2 sequestration. The successful candidate will demonstrate their knowledge and experience with electro- and thermo-chemical processes, fluid-rock interactions, and CO2 mineralization. This role can be remote with occasional travel.

• Willingness to learn and share knowledge and challenges to benefit the team
• Excellent technical and team communication skills
• Analysis of large, multi-variate geochemical datasets and critical interpretation of geochemical data pertaining to mining environments
• Participate in fast paced CO2 sequestration feasibility and development efforts
• Assist in proposal and grant writing for US federal projects
• Produce high quality technical and governmental reports which communicate complex geochemical mechanisms to an interdisciplinary audience
• Undertake administrative tasks including organization of project meetings and documentation of procedures
• Review effects of mineral dissolution at high temperature on reservoir permeability and porosity
• Review effects of supercritical CO2 mineralization and storage at high temperature and the implications of sCO2 for mineral recovery
• Study electro-chemical reactions in laboratory environments
• Work with industry and academic partners to investigate in-situ mineral recovery processes

Requirements

• PhD in geochemistry or related field
• Minimum 4 years of experience, preferably with laboratory and/or industry applications
• Minimum 2 years field experience in oil & gas or geothermal
• Experience in CO2 sequestration and mineralization
• Experience in geothermal exploration and geochemical analysis
• Experience with safe work practices in a laboratory environment
• Ability to work in USA
