We seek to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated scientist with proven intellectual and technical abilities to work on the Great British Chemicals hub to decarbonise industry in the UK.
The platform is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). It brings together 10 leading UK universities and over 30 industrial stakeholders.
Cardiff University researchers will contribute expertise in atomistic and computational methods for catalysis, sustainable chemical processes, and systems integration, helping to deliver innovation from the lab to pilot scale.
The project will focus on multi-scale computational modelling of atomic level mechanistic processes in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide and other relevant processes, the predictions from which will then dictate the direction of the experimental investigations undertaken by other partners.
Applicants must hold a postgraduate degree at PhD level (or nearing completion / submission) in catalysis, computational chemistry, or relevant industrial experience.
