Thermochemical Processes Unit-IMDEA Energy is looking for a Research Assistant to join the BIVALIA project, focused on the sustainable valorization of agri-food waste through advanced thermochemical conversion and catalytic processes.
🧪 Main responsibilities include:
• Synthesis and characterization of heterogeneous catalysts
• Characterization and conditioning of agri-food waste feedstocks
The Bioproducts Institute is seeking an experienced, motivated, and collaborative Senior Research Scientist to lead and expand our lignin valorization research program. The successful candidate will spearhead scientific innovation in lignin stabilization and depolymerization, focusing on translating transformative biomass chemistry into scalable technology for sustainable bioproducts and bio-refinery systems. This role integrates fundamental research, process development, industry collaboration, and mentoring of students and junior scientists.
Would you like to work at the forefront of innovative catalysis research and actively shape the future of sustainable chemical processes?
Contribute to PNNL’s goals in catalysis as part of the Lab’s Physical Sciences Division (PSD). As an experimental Post Doctorate RA in the Catalysis Science group, you will join a multi-investigator team to explore the design, synthesis, characterization, and mechanistic studies of hydrogen activation and transfer by molecular catalysts for the selective transformation of carbon oxygenate feedstocks.

At Carbonova, their team is pioneering the transformation of greenhouse gases into high-performance carbon nanomaterials, and they're about to launch their first Commercial Demonstration Unit (CDU). They're looking for a Senior Process Engineer who’s passionate about innovation, thrives on challenge, and wants to help scale breakthrough technology from pilot to commercial reality.
What you'll do
CashewShell BioRefinery (CSBR) BV is supplying sustainable petrochemical-substitutes from agro-wastes, helping the industry with decarbonisation. CSBR BV is a start-up, upscaling a unique technology involving the synthesis of sustainable and low-tox meta-aromatic additives and resins, from an oil in the shells of cashew nuts. CSBR BV replaces traditional petrol-derived solutions with drop-in replacements, helping industrial materials-formulators with achieving a balance of safety, performance, sustainability and value for money.
The mission of the Center for Sustainable Catalysis and Engineering (CSCE) is to advance knowledge that deepens our understanding of catalysis in the emerging circular and carbon-smart economy. Our research spans fundamental and applied catalysis in both chemistry and engineering.
