Position Summary:
Postdoctoral scientist in CO2 Electro-catalysis/Artificial Photosynthesis
An immediate position for a chemist or chemical engineer to predict and make catalysts for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to multicarbon products.
The successful candidate will design procedures for the prediction and synthesis of catalysts, validation of their atomic and electronic structure, integration within conducting materials/ electrodes, and determine their mechanisms of product formation and yields. Incorpration of the catalysts within electrolyzers and electrochemical reactors for converting gas to liquids/solids using electricity; microkinetic modelling of chemical mechanisms using computational tools. The individual will join a team of scientists/engineers working on renewable energy conversion and storage via chemicals that can replace petrochemical and biological feedstocks.
