Description
We are seeking a full-time PDRA to join the systems engineering group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by EPSRC (via the UK-HyRES programme) and is fixed-term for 18 months, expected to start in February 2025.
You will be part of a research project to explore the potential of gas-solid reactor schemes for decarbonizing industrial and energy systems involving green hydrogen and ammonia. You will be responsible for developing lab-scale reactors and supporting mathematical modelling for optimization and scale-up analysis.
You will possess a PhD (or near completion) in chemical engineering (or a related subject area) with experimental experience in developing multi-phase (ideally gas-solid) chemical reactors. You will benefit from prior experience in mathematical modelling of chemical processes. You should be able to work efficiently within a team.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Aidong Yang (email: aidong.yang@eng.ox.ac.uk) For more information about working at the Department, see www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/ Only online applications received before midday on 2nd January 2025 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
