The candidate will join the Sustainable Fuels Group within the COMECOCO2 project (Efficient Production of green fuel for marine transportation through co-electrolysis of CO2 captured in wastewater treatment plants). This project is a collaboration among public research institutions and private companies to develop a demonstrator for the efficient production of renewable methanol in Spain.
We offer a 3-years research contract with the opportunity to pursue a PhD degree alongside research activities of the project, joining a team of highly qualified and motivated researchers working in the frontiers of knowledge in science and technology, and with strong collaboration in leading industries in the energy field.
Key responsibilities:
The candidate will work on rational design of catalysts, catalytic evaluation at laboratory scale, and innovative reactor design for methanol synthesis from renewable syngas.
Experimental tasks:
- Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of oxides on powdered samples and pellets
- Experimental evaluation of the catalytic activity of materials for the synthesis of methanol at laboratory
scale. Analytical quantification of reaction products
- Design of pilot plant scale chemical reactor.
- Complete evaluation of the catalyst & reactor concept. Analysis of scalability
Analytical tasks:
- Conduct in-depth literature reviews to understand the current state-of-the art and identify research gaps
- Results analysis, writing and oral communication activities
- Contribute to the publication of research findings
- Proactive collaboration within research group activities
- Planification of resources and deadlines
Deadline for applications: 30th January 2025
