Research Associate/Fellow in Nano-Electrocatalysis (Fixed term)

University of Nottingham - Chemistry

Location: Nottingham
Salary: £30,487 to £37,099 per annum (pro rata if applicable) depending on skills and experience (minimum £33,966 with relevant PhD)
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Placed On: 6th September 2024

Job Ref: SCI348924

Location: University Park

We seek to appoint a postdoctoral scientist to join a multidisciplinary research team at the Nottingham Nanocarbon Group, School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham. 

The Metal Atoms on Surfaces and Interfaces (MASI) is a large-scale multidisciplinary project led by four UK universities (Nottingham, Cardiff, Cambridge, and Birmingham). The project aims to simultaneously address two major challenges: the sustainable use of metals and the development of low-carbon technologies. MASI is driven by the need to respond to both natural (limited resources of critical metals) and human-caused (overpopulation, global warming) threats that are increasingly impacting society. Through its multidisciplinary research approach, MASI seeks to stimulate innovation across various sectors and expedite the translation of fundamental discoveries into clean technologies, aligning with the ambitions of the EPSRC to achieve a Productive Nation, Resilient Nation, and Healthy Nation.

The project is comprised of four interconnected themes addressing the fundamental aspects of metal nanocluster formation (A), metal-support interactions (B), imaging and analysis of nanocatalysts in action (C), and harnessing their catalytic/electrocatalytic properties in key reactions. These include CO2 electroreduction and hydrogen generation by electrolysis (D). 

We are looking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in electrocatalysis to work on advancing the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to methanol and other liquid products. The Research Associate/Fellow will focus on utilising the electrocatalytic properties of metal nanoclusters, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the reaction pathways, and designing electrocatalytic reactors. The Research Fellow will join the multidisciplinary MASI project team and the Nottingham Nanocarbon Group, led by Prof. Andrei Khlobystov. 

This is a full-time (36.25 Hours), fixed-term appointment available from 01/10/2024 for 1 year, if the start date is delayed this role must end on 30th September 2025. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Andrei Khlobystov, email ANDREI.KHLOBYSTOV@NOTTINGHAM.AC.UK. Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
