Job Information
The group of Prof. Grabow in the William A. Brookshire Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Houston (UH) in collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher. The expected starting date is no later than June 2022, and the initial appointment is for 1 year. The position may be renewed annually at the discretion of UH, based on satisfactory performance, funding availability, and programmatic need.
Responsibilities
We seek motivated postdoctoral researchers to assist us in the development of novel chemical processes in the area of dynamic catalysis science. The successful candidate will carry out transient kinetic experiments, perform data analysis, visualization, and will develop kinetic models integrated with data science approaches to quantify benefits of forced dynamic reactor operation.
Experience with the use of transient kinetic techniques and/or kinetic modeling are highly desired along with a demonstrated publication record in the area of catalysis science or reaction engineering. Responsibilities may also include catalyst synthesis, conventional catalyst characterization, and the design and testing of new reactor concepts.
The project team is multidisciplinary and distributed across academia, national laboratories, and industry; thus, the candidate will be responsible to document and regularly present findings to the research team, present results at national/international meetings, and publish research in peer-reviewed journals.
Qualifications
PhD degree in Chemical Engineering or a closely related discipline. All degree requirements must be completed before the commencement of the appointment.
Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
Experience in experimental catalysis science or reaction engineering.
Experience with kinetic models and/or data science
Strong record of publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences
Ability to address complex problems creatively, and to work effectively both independently and in collaboration with other researchers.
Other Information
The collaborative nature of the project with INL will require extended stays or temporary relocation to Idaho Falls, ID. Travel and excess living expenses are reimbursable according to applicable UH travel policies.
Qualifications
Doctoral and No experience
Requires singular knowledge of a specialized advanced professional discipline or the highest level of general business knowledge, normally acquired through attainment of a directly job-related terminal degree or equivalent formal training in a recognized field of specialization that is directly related to the type of work being performed.No experience is required.
Salary: 3,223.00 – 4,834.00
Required Attachments by Candidate: Resume, Curriculum Vitae, Cover Letter/Letter of Application, Research Statement, Publications
Employee Status: Regular/Benefits
