Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Chemical Reaction Engineering for Decarbonization

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div>We are seeking a full-time PDRA to join the systems engineering group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by EPSRC (via the UK-HyRES programme) and is fixed-term for 18 months, expected to start in February 2025.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You will be part of a research project to explore the potential of gas-solid reactor schemes for decarbonizing industrial and energy systems involving green hydrogen and ammonia. You will be responsible for developing lab-scale reactors and supporting mathematical modelling for optimization and scale-up analysis.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You will possess a PhD (or near completion) in chemical engineering (or a related subject area) with experimental experience in developing multi-phase (ideally gas-solid) chemical reactors. You will benefit from prior experience in mathematical modelling of chemical processes. You should be able to work efficiently within a team.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Aidong Yang (email: aidong.yang@eng.ox.ac.uk) For more information about working at the Department, see www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/ Only online applications received before midday on 2nd January 2025 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Chemical reaction engineering, reactors, hydrogen, ammonia, decarbonization</div> </div>
