About us
UCL Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the top research and teaching departments in the UK and has world-class standing. The department offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and has an extensive research portfolio across a wealth of areas, from molecular scale to complex systems.
The project is focusing on scalable solar-driven H2 production from water and bioalcohols by the full solar spectrum in a flow reactor. This project is supported by the European Commission and UKRI, and is in collaboration with research groups in Max-Plank Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, ETH, Max-Plank Fritz Haber Institute, University of Naples Federico II, and University of Hong Kong together with an industrial consortium.
About the role
The role relates in particular to solar energy utilisation and advanced reactor design.
The main purpose of the role is to develop efficient reactors that incorporate dual catalysts that can operate under visible light and infrared irradiation respectively, to produce H2, and simultaneously oxidise bioethanol to high-value chemicals. The target is to achieve a high quantum yield with high selectivity toward high-value chemicals. The postholder will be expected to work collaboratively with the wider team and to contribute to the design and implementation of the overall research strategy.
Salary is £42,099 - £45,521 per annum including London allowance.
This is a fixed-term role for 12 months.
