Research Fellow in Process Chemistry - Leeds, United Kingdom - University of Leeds
Description
Research Fellow in Process Chemistry:
Are you a creative process chemist looking for your next challenge? Does developing interdisciplinary solutions to poor air quality, a problem affecting the health of thousands of people, motivate you? Do you want to develop your networks both in one of the UK's leading research-intensive institutions and with industrial partners?
You will join our team from the Schools of Chemistry, and Chemical and Process Engineering, working to develop LowCat, a new catalyst for NOx emissions mitigation.
The project builds on existing work demonstrating the effectiveness of LowCat for exhaust emissions mitigation and initial scale up of manufacture to the kg scale.
The team at University of Leeds are working with partners from University College London, the ISIS Neutron facility and MinChem limited to deliver a scalable process for manufacture of an optimised catalyst to a range of target markets.
You will work closely with process chemistry experts in the Institute of Process Research and Development and at MinChem limited, as well as academic project collaborators, and will lead on the development of a continuous flow process for production of a consistent, optimised product.
This offers the opportunity to develop wider research skills and networks which could support career development either in academia or industry.
Working in the Institute of Process Research and Development (iPRD) you will join a vibrant, growing and widely recognised Institute of around 40 academics, PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, with a strong focus on collaborative working with industry to develop more efficient and sustainable processes.
Holding a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in Chemistry or Chemical Process Engineering or a closely allied discipline; you will have excellent communication skills and the ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines.
