Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
Job Description

We are seeking a methodical and dedicated postdoctoral researcher to join our team focused on developing our in-house membranes gas separation applications. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on projects related to the design, fabrication, and optimization of membranes for gas separation applications related to carbon capture and storage (CCS). 
Responsibilities:

• Membrane Design and Fabrication: Use your extensive knowledge of membranes to contribute to the design and fabrication of novel flat-sheet membranes for gas separation, with a focus on improving selectivity and efficiency. 
• Experimental Work: Conduct experimental work to characterize and evaluate the performance of membrane materials, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and techniques such as gas chromatography, Raman, SEM, XPS, FTIR, TGA, and surface free energy measurements.
• Material selection and sourcing: Collaborate with suppliers and vendors to source the best membrane materials and equipment for the project.
• Data Analysis: Analyze experimental data to draw meaningful conclusions and contribute to the development of predictive models for membrane gas separations.
• Collaboration: Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers to integrate findings into broader research goals and contribute to project advancements.
• Literature Review: Stay abreast of the latest developments in membrane science and research findings for internal dissemination.
• Actively contribute to our pilot-scale demonstration project to ensure the successful implementation of our lab-scale optimized process at scale.

Requirements:

• Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field: Demonstrated expertise in membrane separations through academic achievements and research projects.
• In-depth knowledge of membrane process: demonstrable knowledge in industrial membrane separation processes, in particular of polymeric and carbon-based flat sheet membranes and the processes they are used in.
• Experimental Skills:
  • Hands-on experience in membrane fabrication, characterization, and performance evaluation using relevant experimental techniques. 
  • Experience in the construction and operation of a lab-scale gas separation setup. 
  • Demonstrable hands-on experience with the installation, maintenance, and/or operation of gas chromatography (GC) equipment (microGC or GC) – as well as subsequent data analysis – is a requirement. 
• Analytical Skills: Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation, with the ability to use analytical tools and software for scientific research. A detail-oriented problem solver with a commitment to systematic experimentation.
• Team Player: Strong collaborative and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented research environment.
• Due to the start of the project, we need candidates who can start as soon as possible.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Industrial Experience: Experience in the manufacture of flat sheet membranes in an industrial setting, as well as the integration of these membranes into spiral wound modules is a plus.
• Process Modeling: Experience in computational modeling related to membrane gas separations, including simulation and optimization techniques, and proficiency in the use of process modelling software such as Aspen Plus/HYSYS is a plus. 
• Publication Record: A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals related to membrane science and gas separation, and in particular CO2 separations, is a plus.

We offer

• Potential for joining a fast-paced future spin-off as an early team member.
• Access to state-of-the-art facilities, resources, and technological infrastructure
• Collaborative and interdisciplinary work setting, fostering meaningful partnerships with international experts.
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities to expand your knowledge and expertise.
• Key role in driving the development and implementation of advanced technologies, specifically in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS).
• Active contribution towards building a sustainable future and addressing global challenges.
• Inclusive and diverse organizational culture, promoting equal opportunities and embracing individual differences.
• Flexible working hours and a supportive work-life balance.
• Substantial influence in shaping strategic decisions and project direction.

If you tick most if not all of the above boxes and are genuinely excited by the prospect of joining an extraordinary future start-up contributing to the green transition, we encourage you to apply.

  Both water electrolysis to hydrogen and CO2/CO electrolysis to hydrocarbons provide sustainable energy derived building blocks for the chemicals industry, however research in this field has primarily focused on operating at room temperature and purely aqueous solvents. While gains have been made in this domain, the limited parameter space has restricted both fundamental knowledge and the ability to create new areas of development.
