Postdoctoral Positions in Chemical Engineering: Catalysis, NO Reduction, and Biomass-to-Hydrogen at IIT Kharagpur Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in

Postdoctoral positions are open at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. The group led by Assistant Professor Suverna Trivedi is recruiting 2 immediate postdoctoral researchers to work on catalysis-driven energy and environmental research.

Research areas include Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NO using CH₄ and Biomass-to-Hydrogen via Aqueous Phase Reforming (APR). These topics sit at the intersection of Chemical Engineering, Catalysis, Reaction Kinetics, Environmental Science, and Energy Materials.

Ideal background: hands-on experience with fixed-bed catalytic reactor systems, strong understanding of reaction kinetics and mechanistic studies, expertise in catalyst design, synthesis, and characterization, and strong data analysis/interpretation skills.

Why apply? The post highlights a well-established laboratory, strong funding support, international collaboration opportunities, and a collaborative environment open to new ideas and research directions.

Application: interested candidates should email their CV and a brief description of research interests to [email protected]. The post also mentions that applicants who have already applied through institute channels and want to work with the group may reach out directly.

Institution: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India.
