Postdoctoral Researcher on CO2 Solid Adsorbent Shaping and Degradation
Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology
Dübendorf, Switzerland
Your tasks
As part of the NCCR-Network, you will contribute to the project aims in the areas of shaped CO2 adsorbents and sorbent ageing. Within the framework of the NCCR project with well-defined objectives, you will be encouraged to develop independent ideas, propose new concepts, and test them experimentally and/or computationally. The role is ideally suited to strengthen your pre-existing expertise and enhance your academic track record.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Help coordinate project activities and develop synergies within the team and between project partners;
- Supervise intern students contributing to the project;
- Elucidate chemical as well as structural ageing mechanisms of structured and pure solid sorbents under different ageing conditions;
- Develop accelerated and high throughput sorbent ageing protocols;
- Help define mitigation strategies for sorbent ageing;
- Develop versatile, upscalable sorbent shaping/coating procedures;
- Help shape new, emerging scientific research lines within the project scope and publish/communicate your scientific results.
Your profile
- A high level of curiosity, independence, teamwork skills and motivation;
- Doctoral degree or equivalent research experience in porous materials, surface or adsorption/separation science or a closely related field;
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
Experience or familiarity with one of the following topics:
- Characterization of sorbent/porous materials characterization e.g. nitrogen sorption (BET, BJH, NLDFT), breakthrough measurements, SEM, TEM, TGA, FTIR, NMR, thermal conductivity measurements;
- Synthesis and/or shaping of solid sorbents;
- Sorbent modelling and prediction of performance or ageing.
