Postdoctoral Research Associate in Advanced Heterogeneous Catalysis: Control by Support Conductivity and Nanostructuring - Grade 7

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher developing new families heterogeneous catalysts based on nanostructured supports with controlled surface chemistry and electronic structure to drive the performance of multimetallic active phases. These catalysts will be evaluated for a range of catalytic reactions in Liverpool and by our collaborators in Cardiff.

You will have a PhD in chemistry or chemical engineering, a strong publication record, a pro-active approach and strong expertise in gas phase heterogeneous catalyst testing and in catalyst synthesis and characterisation.

The post is available for 30 months.

If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30.  Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
