- Applicant must be highly motivated, organized, a good communicator (written and verbal).
- Applicant must have a strong desire to conduct process development research in close collaboration with industry and expertise in assessment, characterization and synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts.
- Experience with high temperature, high pressure fixed-bed reactors used for catalyst assessment, including on-line analytical systems using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry
- Familiarity with laboratory safety protocols when working with hydrogen and carbon monoxide
Duration: This full-time PDF position has an initial 1-year appointment (as per UBC policy for PDFs), with the potential for renewal.
Applications:
Send CV, cover letter, and contact information of 3 references, addressed to Dr. Junnan Chao at junnan.chao@ubc.ca.
