Postdoc Bio-fuel production using hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils&biomass

3 weeks ago

Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

Project Description

The overall goal with this project is to perform research that can aid the development of future bio-refineries that produce 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 Chemical Engineering division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering department 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

  1. The overall goal with this project is to perform research that can aid the development of future bio-refineries that produce 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 examine process conditions and catalyst deactivation.
  2. The catalyst will be tested in high hydrogen pressure reactors and the gas, liquid will be analyzed with GC, GCxGC/MS, and NMR. The solids will be characterized with elemental analysis, NMR, Maldi, etc. The catalysts will be thoroughly characterized using, for example, XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, TPR, TPD, DRIFT, and XPS.
  3. 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.

Contract Terms

This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
