Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Chemical Reaction Engineering for Decarbonization

central Oxford We are seeking a full-time PDRA to join the systems engineering group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by EPSRC (via the UK-HyRES programme) and is fixed-term for 18 months, expected to start in February 2025. 

You will be part of a research project to explore the potential of gas-solid reactor schemes for decarbonizing industrial and energy systems involving green hydrogen and ammonia. You will be responsible for developing lab-scale reactors and supporting mathematical modelling for optimization and scale-up analysis. 

You will possess a PhD (or near completion) in chemical engineering (or a related subject area) with experimental experience in developing multi-phase (ideally gas-solid) chemical reactors. You will benefit from prior experience in mathematical modelling of chemical processes. You should be able to work efficiently within a team. 

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Aidong Yang (email: aidong.yangeng.ox.ac.uk) For more information about working at the Department, see ?url=www.eng.ox.ac.uk%2Fabout%2Fwork-with-us%2F&module=jobs&id=258067" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">?url=www.eng.ox.ac.uk%2Fabout%2Fwork-with-us%2F&module=jobs&id=258067" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/­work-with-us/ Only online applications received before midday on 2nd January 2025 can be considered.
