Offer Description

Professor Max Frenzel is currently recruiting for a 2-year Post-doc المنصب (extendable) to join the new Mineral Exploration and Exploitation Group at KAUST. The focus of the المنصب will be on the development of new methods integrating a variety of data types (remote sensing, geology, geophysics, geochemistry) for geological modelling and advanced exploration targeting of mineral deposits. These workflows will then be applied in relevant المملكة العربية السعوديةn contexts to help discover new ore deposits.

The المنصب will combine techniques from geological modelling, geostatistics, machine learning, and potentially geophysics (inversion) to develop new exploration targeting methods. These will be designed to make the most of the excellent outcrop conditions in المملكة العربية السعودية, which means that a particular focus will be placed on the use of remote sensing data. Other relevant data types are geological maps, geophysical surveys (gravity, electromagnetic, seismic), and soil or stream sediment geochemistry. In terms of the application to specific regions in المملكة العربية السعودية, the candidate will be free to choose their own case study(s). The willingness to collaborate closely with local exploration companies is expected.

المملكة العربية السعودية is a fast-developing الدولة offering unparalleled opportunities in mineral resources and other geoscience-related fields. In particular, the recent opening of المملكة العربية السعودية for international exploration companies has led to a substantial increase of activity in the mineral exploration sector. Given the great geological potential of المملكة العربية السعودية for different types of mineral deposits, it is probably the الدولة with the most exciting mineral exploration opportunities right now.

  • Excellent coding skills in python, R, or another relevant language are expected, as demonstrated by previously completed projects.
  • Strong candidates will also have a firm background in geostatistics, geospatial modelling, and/or data science.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in English are required, as evidenced by a strong publication and conference presentation record.
  • In addition, candidates should hold a driver’s licence or be willing to acquire one, and should be willing to undertake fieldwork.
  • Experience in the mineral resource sector is desirable but not essential.
  • Experience in conducting UAV surveys is desirable but not essential.
  • A completed PhD is sufficient for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher. For appointment as a research scientist, additional research experience of at least 2 years is required in the relevant areas highlighted above.
Specific Requirements

English (C1 / IELTS 7.0 equivalent or better)

Level Good

Research Field Physics » OtherGeosciencesEngineering » Geological engineering Years of Research Experience None

Additional Information

The المنصب will include a competitive salary based on the candidate’s qualifications and experience; benefits include medical and dental insurance, free housing on the KAUST campus, an annual travel allowance, 30 paid vacation days, and other generous benefits. KAUST is a vibrant and international community, with many opportunities for social, sporting, and learning activities outside of work.

The successful applicant will be associated with the new Mineral Exploration and Exploitation Group at KAUST. The group will commence work in August 2025. Its main aim is to contribute to the development of mineral resources in المملكة العربية السعودية by developing innovative approaches to mineral exploration, mining, and mineral processing. The working group will initially consist of 1 PhD student and 2 MSc students, but is projected to grow to 2 postdocs (incl. this المنصبs), 3 PhD students, and a variable number of MSc students. In addition, KAUST provides a highly collaborative research environment, and active engagement of the holder of the المنصب in collaborative activities within and outside of the research group will be strongly encouraged and supported.

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must hold a PhD degree in a relevant discipline, as listed above, and must demonstrate fluency in English in writing, speaking and listening at the indicated level

Selection process

Received applications will be reviewed and suitable candidates interviewed on a rolling basis, starting from June 1, 2025.
