We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) position from the 1st September 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter) for 24 months. Depending on the direction of the project an extension of up to a further 12 months may be possible. The PDRA will be supervised by Dr…
We seek to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated scientist with proven intellectual and technical abilities to work on the new phase of the successful UK Catalysis Hub programme. The UK Catalysis Hub brings together the breadth of skills within the UK catalysis community to tackle complex catalytic challenges. This project…
A special collection of thematically related manuscripts by UK Catalysis Hub members has been published by the Royal Society in 2023 PCCP Reviews, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2023, Advance Article. Computational modelling techniques now play a vital role in catalytic science. Atomic and molecular level simulation is used widely and…
This scheme is for outstanding scientists who are in the early stages of their research career and have the potential to become leaders in their field. These long term fellowships provide the opportunity and freedom to build an independent research career in the UK or Republic of Ireland and pursue…
Three 4-year international PhD studentships are available at the University of Cambridge, starting in October 2024 under the supervision of Professor Erwin Reisner in the Department of Chemistry. We are looking for the most talented and dedicated candidates to join our international research team. We are committed to truly cross-disciplinary…
The Institute of Chemical research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is seeking a POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER. The position is affiliated with the group of Prof. Mónica H. Pérez-Temprano, who works on the development of innovative and more sustainable first-row transition metal-catalyzed transformations by using mechanisms as a powerful reaction design tool. Specifically, the…
When: 12 October, 1-2pm BSTWhere: Online A seminar on DFT & kinetic modeling of the methanol to olefins process with Prof. Dr. Felix Studt from Institute of Catalysis Research and Technology on 12 October. The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process over the acidic zeolite H-SSZ-13 is investigated using periodic density functional theory…
When: 11 October 2023, 10:00 – 11:00 BSTWhere: Online Lignin is the only renewable natural resource with abundant aromatics in nature, and it’s highly desirable to develop cheap and efficient catalysts to obtain value-added aromatics from lignin. We initially employed a cheap platinum-like Tungsten carbide catalyst for lignin hydrogenolysis and explored…
The UK Catalysis Hub has launched the call for the JMT Medal 2023. The JMT Medal is awarded to a person of outstanding achievement in catalysis or a closely related field every year. In addition, the winner of the medal will also be invited to deliver a lecture on catalysts…
