Two Postdoc positions in biomass utilization with carbon seize and storage

The Division of House, Earth and Surroundings is recruiting two postdocs to hold out analysis with the intention of growing environment friendly know-how for combustion of biomass and waste-derived fuels. Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is a revolutionary methodology for gasoline conversion, that gives inherent CO2 seize and drastically reduces issues associated to corrosive ash parts current in troublesome fuels. You’ll work along with researchers with lengthy and internationally acknowledged expertise within the growth of applied sciences for biomass conversion and carbon dioxide seize.

Mission description
The introduced positions are inside the initiatives “Advancing chemical-looping combustion of home fuels” and “Versatile chemical looping combustion for mixed warmth and energy manufacturing from biogenic residues with unfavorable emission”. Each are multi-partner initiatives and contain educational and industrial companions.

Whereas totally different of their scope and actions, the purpose of each initiatives is to additional the event of Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC), an idea associated to Fluidized-Mattress Combustion (FBC), however which entails using chemically lively mattress supplies. CLC offers two essential benefits over FBC, particularly inherent CO2 sequestration and separation of corrosive ash parts and weak heat-transfer surfaces. These benefits make CLC a great know-how for Bio-Vitality with Carbon Seize and Storage (BECCS), which has been recognized as a needed know-how for attaining local weather coverage targets. BECCS entails capturing and storing CO2 absorbed by biomass from the environment throughout combustion or utilization, and permits for co-generation of unfavorable CO2 emissions, energy and warmth.
Within the Nordic nations we have now uncommon entry to biomass sources, distinctive infrastructure for biomass utilization and technological know-how to appreciate BECCS within the close to time period.

Details about the division and the division
Chalmers College of Expertise has been a pioneer establishment within the growth of CLC and associated applied sciences. Your position within the venture can be to steer varied actions and carry out experimental work that pertains to operation of a CLC pilot unit and measurement of essential emissions, characterization of mattress materials and ash samples, and utility of novel measurement strategies. You’ll collaborate with senior researchers and PhD college students on the Division of Vitality Expertise and on the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering .

Main tasks
As postdoc your predominant accountability is to conduct analysis inside the framework of the given venture. You might be anticipated to work with a excessive diploma of independence, whereas nonetheless being able to shut collaboration with different researchers and industrial companions when wanted. It’s best to have the ability to talk scientific outcomes to totally different stakeholders, each orally at conferences and conferences and in written kind as scientific articles. If desired, instructing in undergraduate and graduate programs could be a part of the work description, however it’s not obligatory.

{Qualifications}
By the beginning date, the applicant ought to have a PhD examination in a topic related for the venture content material (e.g. vitality engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering). Candidates who obtained their PhD diploma inside the final three years can be prioritized.

Expertise of experimental analysis is obligatory, and analysis associated to chemical-looping combustion is a profit. Additionally, the place requires wonderful verbal and written communication expertise in English, and ideally additionally in Swedish. If Swedish will not be your native language, Chalmers affords Swedish programs.
Expertise and data within the following areas is meritorious: i) Fluidization engineering, ii) Materials characterization, iii) Biomass utilization, iv) Combustion and gasification, v) Chemical-looping combustion and comparable ideas, vi) Oxide chemistry.

To qualify for the place of postdoc, you will need to maintain a doctoral diploma awarded not more than three years previous to the applying deadline (in keeping with the present settlement with the Swedish Company for Authorities Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year restrict could be made for longer intervals ensuing from parental go away, sick go away or army service*.

* The date proven in your doctoral diploma certificates is the date we use, as that is the date you’ve met all necessities for the doctoral diploma.

Contract phrases
This postdoc place is a full-time non permanent employment.
The period of the place is 2 years, which could be prolonged for optimum one 12 months.

We provide
Chalmers affords a cultivating and galvanizing working atmosphere within the coastal metropolis of Gothenburg .
