We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our dynamic research team in the exciting, interdisciplinary field of plasma catalysis. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to pioneering research focused on developing plasma catalysis technology for converting CO2 into valuable fuels, such as methanol. Your role will involve designing, synthesising, and characterising advanced catalytic materials, as well as evaluating and optimising plasma-catalytic processes for CO2 conversion. You will work to deepen our understanding of the reaction mechanisms in plasma-catalytic systems and will play a key role in publishing research findings and collaborating closely with both internal team members and external partners to achieve project goals. You will also contribute to knowledge exchange and dissemination efforts through activities such as presentations and outreach initiatives.
