Senior Research Engineer
The West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC) seeks to hire two Senior Research Engineers in the National Research Center for Coal and Energy (NRCCE) at WVU to serve as technical liaisons to the US Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The research engineers will work on collaborative projects involving systems analysis of advanced power generation and co-production facilities to better understand and optimize overall plant performance and efficiency, to reduce time, cost and technical risk in developing high-efficiency, zero-emission power plants. The incumbents will advise the organizations on process modeling, simulation, analysis, and cost estimates for a broad range of advanced coal-fired, gasification-based plants using the Aspen PlusŪ steady-state simulator. The incumbents will focus on researching, analyzing, designing and testing data or systems to develop and evaluate processes, methods, assure compliance or provide guidance consistent with theories and principles of mathematics, engineering or computer sciences. The research engineers will independently use professional concepts and organizational policies to solve a wide range of moderate to complex problems in imaginative and practical ways. Responsibilities require advanced knowledge of processes and procedures to support duties of the position and demonstrated knowledge of steady-state process simulation software. Supervision of others is not required; however, project lead responsibilities, sharing of knowledge and team participation is expected in the role. The successful candidates will possess a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field, and 3 to 5 years of experience in the application of process modeling and simulation to fossil energy applications; or, an equivalent combination to fulfill position requirements. A working knowledge of Aspen PlusŪ or a similar package is required. Competitive salary and benefits package offered. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The WVURC is an EEO employer. In order to receive consideration for this position, applicants should send a resume, cover letter and three professional references to: WVURC Department of Human Resources, PO Box 6216, Morgantown, WV 26506; or, by email to Colleen.Lankford@mail.wvu.edu.
