External Opportunities
Current opportunities:
PhD and ECR opportunities from the catalysis community.
The three-year post, funded by the BBSRC, is available to work on the development of a carboxyl methyltransferase enzyme and its integration into enzyme cascades with acyl transferases for the synthesis of amides. This project is part of our research in biocatalytic recycling of plastic and generation of biodegradable polymers. We have recently…

The “X-ray Microscopy in Catalysis” (XRM) group based at KIT strives to understand the structure and function of heterogeneous catalytic materials and processes – promoting efficient chemical synthesis, energy conversion technologies, and emissions control. To achieve this, we perform advanced X-ray imaging studies at synchrotron light sources – allowing deep…

The growing global interest in carbon capture and conversion/utilization (CCU) technologies means that new supply chains can be created to add value from an otherwise waste gas. This means new fossil carbon use can be avoided in a move towards a circular economy. The Flu2Chem project is funded by Innovate…

Structure/activity relationships in heterogeneously catalysed selective hydrogenation reactions of relevance to agri-chemical production chains A recently completed industrially sponsored Ph.D. project, concentrating on the kinetics and hydrodynamics of nitrile hydrogenation, has enabled a catalyst specification to be defined that supports high amine selectivity and extended catalyst lifetimes. A follow-on Ph.D. project is…
