We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled experimental scientist to join our team at the Njord Centre, University of Oslo 
(https://www.mn.uio.no/njord/english/about/) for a 2-years Researcher position in the REACT project funded by the Research Council of Norway (FRIPRO Young Research Talent Grant). 

REACT investigates in-situ mineral growth within nano- and microscale volumes and aims to understand the causes and consequences of destructive and cohesive growth of minerals under spatial confinement. Our goal is to understand and control the cohesive and damaging growth of minerals in pores, which has consequences for many natural and anthropogenic environments such us built cultural heritage and modern infrastructure, geological CO2 storage sites and subsurface reservoirs, and mineral-based materials such as Portland cement. The experimental approach of the REACT project relies mainly on the surface forces apparatus (SFA). SFA is one of the few techniques, which can provide measurements of nano- to microscale, distance-resolved surface forces in a confined geometry. We will use these measurements to find links between surface forces acting during cohesive and damaging growth of minerals in pores in-situ.
