We are looking for a Research Fellow to conduct a project in a multi-disciplinary team. The role will focus on the conversion of biomass to low carbon fuels using life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis of specific technologies develop in the project and compare against existing commercial technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform literature review on data available for commercial processes
• Provide estimations for data not available in literature
• Develop process flowsheets to describe the processes developed in the project and commercial processes
• Perform life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis processes developed in the project and commercial processes
• Prepare manuscripts, reports and presentations
• Guide and train students and junior lab members
• Maintain complete documentation for modelling methods and analysis used
• Regular communications with supervisors on progress and report writing

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in chemical engineering or closely related field
• Good understanding of LCA and TEA theories and calculations
• Experience on ASPEN-HYSYS and LCA software tools

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
