The Department of Chemical Engineering is seeking a Research Assistant/Fellow to join a multidisciplinary research team performing internationally leading research on carbon capture and blue hydrogen production. This is an outstanding research programme that focuses on the development of advanced technological solutions, through process synthesis & design, modelling, and optimisation, which can have a transformative role in the energy sector in the decades to come.

You will be joining a dynamic research group to carry out a multimillion-pound pioneering engineering and research project centred on amine-based CO2 capture processes. Your research will be mainly centred on process synthesis and design, process modelling, and optimisation, in order to identify the best operational and control parameters for the aforementioned process.

During the project, you will develop, model and optimise a number of carbon capture process models for various solvents, and conduct the associated techno-economics assessments. The results will ultimately inform the techno-economics of the process associated with the carbon capture pilot plant which is designed, built and commissioned during the course of this project at a capacity to remove 100 tonnes of CO2 per annum. You will have a unique opportunity to develop strong collaborations with our research partners at the University of Exeter, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, as well as out industrial partner ELIQUO HYDROK.

You should have PhD or near completion qualifications in Chemical/Process Engineering or a closely related discipline. You are expected to have a strong foundation in low-carbon energy technologies as well as some experience in process design and modelling. Having a good background in dynamic (process) modelling and simulation in an advantage.
