Hours of work: Full-time Tenure: Fixed term for 12 months We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our research team in the interdisciplinary field of plasma catalysis. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to pioneering research on adaptive plasma catalysis for the sustainable conversion of CO2, CH4 and other feedstocks into valuable fuels and chemicals. You will be involved in the design, development and optimisation of plasma-catalytic reactors, catalyst synthesis and characterisation, and the investigation of plasma-catalyst interactions and reaction mechanisms. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding catalyst dynamics, surface reaction pathways and the underlying mechanisms of plasma catalysis, supported by advanced in situ/operando characterisation techniques. You will work closely with internal team members and international collaborators and contribute to high-quality publications, conference presentations and knowledge exchange activities.
