The University of Aberdeen has just put out an advert for 20 five-year fellows as part of our Aberdeen 2040 interdisciplinarity drive. These fellowships will provide exceptional researchers with an opportunity to carry out a large programme of independent research within the Aberdeen 2040 thematic areas. In the Department of Chemistry…
A video on the sustainable fuels and chemicals from biomass by Dr Christopher M. A. Parlett, University of Manchester – Diamond Light Source Research Fellow in Catalysis Lignocellulosic biomass represents a sustainable feedstock for the production of carbon-based chemicals and fuels, which can function as drop-in replacements for conventional fossil…
UK Catalysis Hub researchers including; Prof. Richard Catlow, Prof. Graham Hutchings, Prof. Christopher Hardacre and Prof. Andrew Beale are collaborating with Prof. Anatoly Zayats from King’s College London to investigate steering of chemical processes with plasmonic nanostructures. This multidisciplinary research programme combines the expertise of King’s and Imperial College London and UK Catalysis…
Closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle requires selective valorization of CO2 and efficient methods for capture and concentration from dilute streams. The first part of the talk will discuss the challenge of product selectivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to renewable fuels. Desirable CO2 reduction products require proton equivalents, but key catalytic intermediates in CO2 reduction can…
Our new newsletter is out now with articles on our new members and current research, the new UK Catalysis Hub projects and publications. Visit https://ukcatalysishub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Newsletteron2021v2.pdf to read and download.
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to work on a project at the chemistry-biology interface looking to improve the sustainability of chemical synthesis. The project seeks to design new metalloenzymes using unnatural amino acids or synthetic cofactors and to apply these catalysts in selective chemical synthesis. Initially these metalloenzymes…
We seek to recruit a highly motivated and talented PhD student in the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow to work in a multidisciplinary project within the research groups of Dr Gibson (web) Dr Laia Vilà-Nadal (link to LVN-group’s website). The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary…
We have an exciting vacancy for a Senior Computational Scientist in the Scientific Computing Department (SCD) to join the team developing modern Materials and Molecular Modelling packages on High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms. You will focus on the porting to and optimisation of such codes on accelerators, especially GPUs. The work forms part…
Introduction Catalysis research has had a major positive impact on the UK economy. Evidence for this is provided by the over 60 impact case referencing catalysis or biocatalysis studies submitted to the 2014 REF exercise. Case studies involving catalysis and biocatalysis span Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals, Built Environment, materials…
