Research Fellow (Chemical Engineering/Physical Chemistry/Materials Chemistry) Full-time

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Established in 2010, the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) is a pan-university research institute that focuses on systems-level research for tropical megacities. It performs translational research that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialisation and deployment. ERI@N has multiple Interdisciplinary Research Programmes which focus on translational Research, Development & Deployment which focus on specific area of the energy value chain, and a number of Living labs and Testbeds which facilitate large scale technology deployment enabling validation and demonstration of real-world applications.

We are looking for a talented and creative postdoctoral research fellow to work on a project under the NTU-ExxonMobil Corp Lab. Primarily, we are looking for an individual dedicated to heterogeneous catalysis, thermochemical reaction engineering with extensive experience in employing advanced characterization techniques to probe the structure of catalyst active sites under working conditions and catalytic mechanisms. The project aims to develop reaction engineering approaches to tackle technical problems associated with the conversion of biomass to low emission fuels. The research fellow will work closely within a larger project team including chemists and computational chemists to develop a commercially viable low emission fuel process.

Key Responsibilities:

• Publish research results in high-quality international peer-reviewed journals.
• Participate in the daily running and maintenance of the research lab.
• Manage the day-to-day operation of the experimental apparatus.
• Procure chemicals and consumables.
• Mentor and co-supervise junior researchers.
• Work closely with industry partners

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, or a relevant field.
• Experience in operating thermal catalytic reactors is required.
• Extensive knowledge in operando and in situ catalyst characterization techniques is desired.
• Good record of peer-reviewed papers is advantageous.
• Scientific articles, proposals and reports writing skill is required.
• Good interpersonal skills.
• Good English writing and communication skills for research purposes
• Excellent teamwork awareness.
• Productive, hard-working and dedicated to the completion of any task assigned
