Ammonia is one of the most important bulk chemicals. In particular, through its use in the production of fertilizers it plays no small part in feeding the earth’s population, which has increased more than fourfold since industrial production of ammonia via the Haber-Bosch process has become possible. Environmentally friendly production…
A position is available within the research groups of Prof Helen Sneddon and Prof Antoine Buchard as part of the EPSRC Prosperity Partnership between the Universities of York and Nottingham and industrial partner Croda. Special polymers for liquid formulations are a key part of many everyday products from shower gel to crop protection and…
Heterogeneous catalysis is at the heart of numerous industrial processes, providing pathways for the sustainable production of chemicals, fuels, and materials. However, traditional catalysts often face limitations in terms of energy consumption and selectivity. The emerging field of dynamic catalysis presents a transformative solution by subjecting nanomaterial catalysts to rapidly…
When: 18 March 2024, 3-4pm GMTWhere: Online A webinar from Dr. Jennifer Edwards, Cardiff University, Senior Lecturer in Catalytic and Physical Chemistry and Director of EDI. On exposure to water, air and sunlight photocatalysts will generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have high oxidising potentials. These ROS can be used in…
When: 3 September 2024, 10:30-17:00Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Didcot, OX11 0QX Join us for this free one-day symposium organised by the Institute of Chemical Sciences at Heriot Watt University, the Department of Chemistry at the University of York and the UK Catalysis Hub, supported by UKRI, to look…
We are looking to recruit a Research Fellow in Inorganic Materials Chemistry to develop novel heterojunction water-splitting photocatalysts as part of an EPSRC funded project on a 36 month contract. You will join a team supervised by Dr Geoff Hyett, based at the University of Southampton, one of the UK’s…
We are seeking to recruit 2 enthusiastic, highly motivated PhD students to work on emerging plasma catalysis for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals through the activation of small and inert molecules (e.g., CO2 conversion, NH3 synthesis/cracking) under ambient conditions. You will join the team led by Professor Xin Tu in…
We seek to appoint an outstanding and ambitious early career scientist to a Lectureship in Computational and Theoretical Chemistry. Any area of Computational and Theoretical Chemistry will be considered, but we particularly welcome applications focused on (i) the computation and theory of magnetic resonance or (ii) protein structure prediction and…
Applications are invited for a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position to work with Dr. Amit Kumar at the School of Chemistry, University of St. Andrews on the topics of polymer chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. This is an exciting opportunity to join a young and dynamic research group. The project aims…
We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on an exciting plasma catalysis project. You will join the team of Professor Xin Tu in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool. The project will focus on plasma processing…
