Successful postdoctoral candidates will have obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or other related areas in the last three years from one of the top 200 universities in QS Rankings. They will have a solid publication track record with an h-index of at least 5. Applicants must have demonstrable expertise in high-temperature high-pressure reaction engineering, liquid and gas sample analysis by spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques and catalyst characterization tools. Experience in the use of process and unit modelling tools, such as MATLAB, ASPEN and COMSOL, is desirable. In addition, they will have the ability to communicate their research to expert audiences both orally and through journal articles and technical reports. The position is tenable in principle for two years and the remuneration package includes a salary competitive with US and Europe, additional allowances for transport and accommodation, free medical care and annual return flights to the home country over holidays.
