02 Postdoctoral positions: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering 1696 views

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.
