Scientist/Researcher – Carbon Capture Team

PstrongCoLAB NET4CO2 /strong is seeking a highly qualified Engineer/Researcher to join our Capture team.
This team aims the development and assessment of effective technologies for the capture of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from large emission sources, such as industrial plants or/ and directly from air.
This field complements Carbon Utilization technologies, and their integration can result in significant reductions in global COsub2 /sub emissions.
/p pstronguMain Responsibilities: /u /strong /pulliPerform laboratory-based and analytical work to support process understanding, including chemical characterization, degradation studies, and validation of experimental data.
/liliConduct and interpret chemical analyses such as FTIR spectroscopy, titrations, and complementary techniques for process monitoring and solvent characterization.
/liliEvaluate solvent performance in COsub2 /sub capture systems, including determination of COsub2 /sub loading in MEA and assessment of solvent ageing and degradation mechanisms.
/liliDevelop and test different solvents for COsub2 /sub capture applications.
/liliApply and interpret analytical techniques relevant to MEA systems (e.G. acid-base titration, total inorganic carbon analysis, FTIR, and other spectroscopic or chromatographic methods as applicable).
/li /ul pstronguRequired Skills: /u /strong /pulliMSc or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or a related field.
/liliUnderstanding of chemical processes and unit operations, namely gas-liquid absorption systems.
/liliMore than 1 year of experience in modelling process units such as chemical reactors, adsorption/absorption columns, compressors, etc (optional).
/liliProven experience (1 year) in experimental chemical analysis and laboratory techniques.
/liliPrevious experience in the development of solvents for absorption processes, focusing on COsub2 /sub capture, and/or solid sorbent materials, are high valued.
/liliHands-on experience with FTIR spectroscopy, chromatography (GC, HPLC or IC), quantitative titration methods, and other analytical methods (RMN, XRD, microscopy).
/liliBasic understanding of COsub2 /sub capture processes and solvent-based absorption systems.
/liliAbility to work in both short-term and long-term projects.
/liliProven experience in working in more than one project simultaneously.
/liliStrong analytical skills and ability to solve complex problems with an out-of-the box approach.
/liliStrong analytical skills and ability to solve complex problems.
/liliGood communication skills.
