Department of Engineering, Fluids and Thermal Engineering, University of Nottingham, UK invites application for Post-doctoral Research fellow position in Chemical engineering for project “ECHO – Electromagnetically-assisted Catalytic-upgrading of Heavy Oil”. The project aim is to develop a novel process for down-hole upgrading of heavy oil using microwaves, and testing them in a new microwave reactor. The objective which will work as milestone for this projects are

1. Decreasing level of surface upgrading necessary
2. Improve transportability of heavy oil
3. Reduce emissions and environmental impact.
