Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon (INA)
Zaragoza, Spain
Deadline: 15th of February 2014.
Description
POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE IN THE EUROPEAN PROJECT HECTOR (ERC, ADVANCED GRANT): “MICROWAVE-ASSISTED MICRO-REACTORS: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT GAS PHASE CONTACTOR WITH DIRECT CATALYST HEATING".
Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technologies Department, Nanoporous Films and Particles Group (http://www.unizar.es/nfp/nfp.php?s=10), Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon, University of Zaragoza (Spain).
European project description: HECTOR aims to create microwave-absorbing sites in heterogeneous catalytic micro-reactors to enable efficient gas phase catalytic processing at comparatively lower bulk gas phase temperatures.
Research centre: The Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon (http://ina.unizar.es) is committed to performing excellent research on the fundamental and applied aspects of Nanoscience. It offers a highly interdisciplinary research environment, with state of the art synthesis and characterisation instruments.
Duration: 12 months (possible extension).
Category: Senior Researcher (internal category in the University: PI N1).
Salary: €32,200 per year (gross salary, approx.).
Requirements: Ph Doctorate (compulsorily, Spanish document or officially recognised in Spain).
Proven experience in:
Molecular modelling of catalysts under electromagnetic radiation.
Alternative energy forms for catalyst activation: microwaves, laser, magnetic fields.
Plasmon-driven catalysis.
Heat transfer dynamics in reaction systems and/or microsystems.
Applications: The candidates can send their CV + cover letter in one single pdf file to Mr Juan I. Gallego: gallegoj@unizar.es. Subject: “Senior Researcher – HECTOR”.
There will be an initial selection. The pre-selected candidates would be contacted in the next days with the subsequent instructions.
