Professor Max Frenzel is currently recruiting for a 2-year Post-doc position (extendable) to join the new Mineral Exploration and Exploitation Group at KAUST. The focus of the position 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 Saudi Arabian contexts to help discover new ore deposits.

The position 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 Saudi Arabia, which means that a particular focus will be placed on the use of remote sensing data.

In particular, the recent opening of Saudi Arabia for international exploration companies has led to a substantial increase of activity in the mineral exploration sector. Given the great geological potential of Saudi Arabia for different types of mineral deposits, it is probably the country 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.
