Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Geochemistry – Natural Hydrogen Genesis (REGALOR II Project)

The GeoRessources laboratory (University of Lorraine – CNRS) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in geosciences or chemistry as part of the REGALOR II project, dedicated to studying the mechanisms of natural hydrogen generation and reactivity in the Lorraine Carboniferous Basin.

The project is based on laboratory experiments designed to investigate interactions between fluids, rocks, coal, and minerals from the Lorraine subsurface. The research will focus in particular on the role of coal and iron carbonates in hydrogen production, as well as on the stability and reactivity of hydrogen in geological systems. The experimental results will be integrated into thermodynamic and kinetic models to assess the hydrogen potential of the basin.

The successful candidate will conduct their research at the GeoRessources laboratory in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy (France) and will work in collaboration with the scientific and industrial partners involved in the REGALOR II project.
