Are you an experienced and ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a research background in hydrothermal carbonisation, process engineering, adsorbent characterisation and adsorption, and wish to contribute to the development of novel advanced carbon materials production? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?
This is a unique opportunity to join the exciting UK academic/industry collaborative project FermoChar (Fermentation residue into engineered char-based materials for sustainable industrial applications; A pathway to NetZero), funded by the UK’s Innovation Funding (Innovate UK).
This project brings together a multidisciplinary team of expert researchers in process engineering, biotechnology, adsorbent characterisation within the School of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Leeds, Teesside University, and associated industrial partners working in the fermentation sector.
You will contribute to the production and characterisation of carbonaceous adsorbents from hydrothermal carbonisation of fermentation residues. The overall project aim is to develop methodologies for the valorisation of fermentation residues from different biotechnology processes. The appointed researcher will specifically focus on. i) the production of novel bespoke adsorbents, (ii) modification of adsorbents, (iii) experimental screening of different activation approaches, (iv) the production of materials for adsorption testing and (v) process optimisation and design.
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
