Postdoc position Bio-fuel production using hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils and biomass
4 months ago
Project description The overall goal with this project is to perform research that can aid the development of future bio-refineries that produces chemicals and fuels based on waste materials. This will be done by developing novel catalytic processes.
Information about the division and the department
This position is at of at Chalmers. We have a wide range of experience and work both experimentally and with modeling. We have a long tradition of working with both fundamental scientific questions and applied problems together with industry. This position is within the Competence Centre for Catalysis (KCK).
Major responsibilities
The overall goal with this project is to perform research that can aid the development of future bio-refineries that produces chemicals and fuels based on bio-oils and waste biomass. Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation, which will be the focus of this project, is a very strong technique that can be used to produce renewable chemicals and fuels. The objective of the project is to develop novel catalysts for the process as well as examined process conditions and catalyst deactivation.
The catalyst will be tested in high hydrogen pressure reactors and the gas, liquid will be analysed with GC, GCxGC/MS and NMR. The solids will be characterized with elemental analysis, NMR, Maldi, etc. The catalysts will be throughly characterized using for example XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, TPR, TPD, DRIFT and XPS.
The position will involve reporting current research results in both written and oral form as well as authoring scientific research publications.
Qualifications
For this position it is required to have a PhD in Catalysis. It is also a requirement to have extensive experience in catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils/biomass.
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for twoyears.
We offer Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of .
