Job description

Full Time, 30 month fixed-term, office based

Join us and be part of a vibrant community at Loughborough University.

Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for:

We are looking for two talented researchers in the areas of catalysis and reaction engineering, to develop new catalytic pathways to selectively upgrade biooils and waste CO2 into chemical platforms such as methanol, olefins and functionalised oxygenates. The two 30-month positions are funded through CIRCARB (Circular and Biogenic Carbon Pathways for a Sustainable Future), a £6M strategic investment from EPSRC, involving academics from Aston University, Loughborough University and University of Edinburgh.

The two post holders will work closely together to develop catalytic pathways to selectively upgrade biooils (from thermochemical conversion of waste biomass) and waste CO2 into chemical intermediates such as methanol, olefins and fun...
