We are seeking to appoint a talented and enthusiastic researcher with experience of research on electrochemical systems to work on the EPSRC funded Liquid Fuels and Bioenergy Supply from CO2 Reduction (LifesCO2R) project.

You should have or be soon to have, a PhD related to Chemical engineering or a relevant related field, with experience in synthesis and characterisation of catalysts and knowledge of techniques for electrochemical analysis, catalysis, and chemical-physical analysis. You should have a record of high quality publications in respected scientific journals. Experience working with bioelectrochemical systems would be desirable.

The project is a collaboration between the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials at Newcastle University and is focused on cathodic reactions for CO2 electrochemical reduction and microbial electrosynthesis of organic compounds in Bioelectrochemical systems.

This post is available fixed term for 24 months.

Informal enquiries and requests for more detailed project information should be directed to Dr Eileen Yu (eileen.yu@newcastle.ac.uk).
