Research Assistant / Research Associate in Catalytic synthesis of ammonia (Fixed Term)

University of Cambridge

Description

A position is open for a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Assistant as part of an EPSRC project at the University of Cambridge in the group Catalysis and Process Integration group led Dr Laura Torrente (www. capi.ceb.cam.ac.uk) and co-supervised by Prof Geoff Moggridge (www. ceb.cam.ac.uk/directory/geoff- moggridge).

The successful candidate will have a strong background in the synthesis and characterisation of heterogeneous catalysts and/or expertise in chemical reaction engineering, including a PhD in a relevant area. Experience in inorganic chemistry, nitrogen activation and chemical looping would be advantageous.

The aim of the project is the development of catalysts for the synthesis of green ammonia with a focus on the mechanisms of nitrogen activation and the use of readily available materials.
