Chemical Engineering

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the group of Prof. Thomas Epps, III in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware (UD). The positions involve a collaboration with the U.S. Army and allows the opportunity for both fundamental research and technology developments depending on the interests of the candidate. One position will focus on the deconstruction of various lignin-rich feedstocks to generate small-molecule phenolics.

Project:

Combined heterogeneous catalytic, enzymatic, and chemo-enzymatic approach to convert an air pollutant into value-added bulk or specialty chemicals. Via an integrated and multidisciplinary strategy, we aim to simultaneously solve a specific environmental problem and to create chemical value.

Skills required:

Master level degree as a chemist, biochemist, bio-engineer, chemical engineer or equivalent (for the PhD position) or PhD in heterogeneous catalysis or biocatalysis (for the postdoctoral position)

YOUR TASKS

Description

The individual selected for this position will lead research to develop & commercialize high purity solvents for the semiconductor industry & other applications supporting the Coatings & Inks business at Eastman.

Responsibilities

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.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto invites applicants for a Research Assistant position in the area of inorganic chemistry, process engineering, chemical engineering, and metallurgy. This position is part of an interdisciplinary, industry-collaborative research project within BioZone at the University of Toronto. This project aims to develop bio-based processes that enable the treatment of mine tailing waste for greater recovery of nickel. The project will involve operating a pilot-scale bioreactor to assess the nickel recovery from mining waste.
