Carbon Capture & Utilisation Research Programme Requirements
 
Research Fellow
Job responsibilities:

  • Full time commitment to the project
  • Conduct pressurized TG studies into the kinetics of CO2 mineralization, with emphasis on the promotional effect of water. High quality data must be generated to feed into computational modeling.
  • Develop in-situ methods for elucidating structural and physico-chemical changes under typical carbonation/ hydration conditions, and their influence on the kinetics.
Requirements:

  • Ph.D in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or Material Science
  • Postdoctoral experience in an overseas research establishment or university
  • Broad expertise in inorganic and surface chemistry
  • Sound knowledge of thermodynamics and chemical engineering principles
  • Hands-on experience in thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR (and/ or TG-FTIR), in-situ XRD, and a variety of solida-state characterization methods
  • Familiarity with chemical (catalytic reactors) and gas/solid reaction kinetics
  • Good communication skills in oral and written English
