Descrierea postului

Job Description:CO2 converstion to solids: Transforming waste materials to valuable productsWe are developing a fast, cheap, environmentally friendly way to mineralise CO2, to make stable, useful products. We invite enthusiastic candidates to join our team.As a result of recently funded projects, our research group is looking to fill a position for a reactor design engineer (chemical, process or mechanical engineer or similar).Our goal is to develop novel methods to mineralise CO2, converting it o products that are stable long term. Even with the very best alternative energy sources, current air and ocean CO2 levels will need 1,000 to 10,000 years to return to preindustrial levels. We will help to overcome these limitations through the development of new processes and products.We are running several projects in parallel, ranging from fundamental investigations of mineral-water-gas properties, through developing predictive models and new experimental methods and instrumentation, to design creative and cost-effective CO2 trapping processes for installation in a factory chimney. We aim to build a factory pilot CO2 removal system, with eventual commercialisation. The need is urgent, the task is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach is essential – so our group consists of highly motivated scientists and engineers, including chemists, physicists, nanoscientists, materials scientists, mineralogists, geoscientists and others at all academic levels, some with extensive experience in industry.The job
Your overall responsibility is to work with the reactor design team. Your main tasks are to:

• help build and test small- and large-scale prototypes,
• contribute to research and development in the group, especially where it leads to derivation or optimisation of parameters for the reactors,
• communicate and build a network with the industry partners.
