Our current research projects include: utilization of hydrogen and ammonia in industry, steam calcination, concentrated solar thermal for industrial processes, hybrid solar-combustion systems, plastic gasification, valorizing low-grade fuels, hydrogen-peroxide as fuel oxidant, and development of advance laser based techniques.

**Role**:

- **Experimentation**: Design, conduct, and analyze experiments in high-pressure combustion systems, focusing on the behavior of supercritical water to foster advancements in gasification and oxidation processes of plastic polymers and wastes.
- **Modeling**: Develop and validate detailed chemical kinetic models that capture the complexities of supercritical water reactions.
- **Collaboration**: Work alongside a multidisciplinary team of experts and potentially mentor graduate students in chemical engineering and related fields.
- **Innovation**: Contribute to the development of novel techniques and approaches in high-pressure system operation and maintenance, pushing the boundaries of clean combustion research.

**What We Offer**:

- **Cutting-Edge Facilities**: Access to state-of-the-art laboratories and the latest high-pressure equipment within a globally recognized research institution.
- **Collaborative Environment**: Thrive in a supportive and inclusive community where collaboration with leading academics is the norm. You'll also have the unique opportunity to engage with top-tier industry partners, gaining insights that only on-the-ground industrial collaborations can offer.
- **Career Development**: A platform to enhance your research profile and an environment that encourages the pursuit of innovative ideas.

**Benefits**: Competitive salary, housing and healthcare. Possibility of participating in industrially relevant projects in the area of sustainability.

**Qualifications**:
**Requirements**:

- **Education**: Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- **Experience**: Demonstrable experience with experimental setups and modeling in the context of chemical kinetics, combustion, or related areas. Knowledge of plastics and polymers helpful but not necessary.
- **Technical Skills**: Proficiency in handling very high-pressure systems, with a thorough understanding of the associated safety protocols and procedures. High pressure comnbustion / chemical kinetics
- **Industrial Experience**: While not mandatory, prior industrial experience will be considered an asset.**Specific Requirements**: Proficiency in handling very high-pressure systems, with a thorough understanding of the associated safety protocols and procedures.

**Required Research Experience**: PhD obtained after 2018. Other postdoctoral experience is not required.
