Mission
We are seeking an outstanding candidate for a multidisciplinary, industry-facing research project on metal-organic frameworks for low-carbon hydrogen production from seawater, wastewater, and other abundant feedstocks. The work spans materials synthesis, characterization, testing, and prototype reactor development, with a clear pathway to applied deployment and commercialisation.
Main duties and responsibilities
* Scalable synthesis and shaping of metal-organic framework-based composites
* Structural and optical characterisation (PXRD, BET, UV-vis, SEM)
* Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution measurements and long-term durability testing
* Support in the design and testing of a closed-loop photocatalytic reactor
* Documentation, data analysis, contribution to publications and project reports
Profile
* PhD (or nearing completion of) in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
* Research experience in inorganic/materials synthesis, photocatalysis, or related areas
* Strong experimental skills and familiarity with key characterisation techniques (e.g. PXRD, GC, optical spectroscopy)
* Ability to work both independently and as part of a collborative research team
* Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
* Strong motivation to engage with interdisciplinary research and explore new research domains
We offer
* A dynamic research environment with state-of-the-art facilities
* Collaboration with academic and industrial partners
* Opportunities for scientific dissemination and professional development.
* Competitive salary and excellent working conditions (more information can be found on our website )
