The Chalmers University of Technology is inviting applications for two Postdoctoral positions in Renewable Fuel production using catalysis at Chemistry and Chemical Engineering department.
About the project:
- This position is within the unit for Chemical Reaction and Process Engineering.
- The topics for two positions are to produce alternative fuels using heterogeneous catalysis. One of the positions will focus on producing fuels using CO2 and H2 as feed-stocks.
- H2 will in the future probably be available in large quantities, e.g. through water splitting with renewable electricity, and CO2 can be captured from combustion processes.
- The other position will focus on using lignin as a source for producing fuels by combining depolymerisation and hydrodeoxygenation.
Duration: Full-time temporary; limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).
Qualifications:
- Applicant must have a doctoral degree in heterogeneous catalysis; the degree should generally not be older than three years.
- Experience in high pressure hydrogenation experiments, as well as analysing complex liquid organic mixtures would be considered as strong merits.
Applications:
- Application to be sent electronically and be attached as pdf-files (Ref 20190025, in English):
- CV, include complete list of publications, Previous teaching and pedagogical experiences, Two references that we can contact.
- Personal letter including: 1-3 pages of introduction and present your qualifications; Previous research fields and main research results; Future goals and research focus. Are there any specific projects and research issues you are primarily interested in?
- Attested copies of completed education, grades and other certificates.
