Post-doctoral Position in Design of Bimetallic and Multifunctional Catalysts IMT Mines Albi Carmaux in France

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR TOOLS4HYBCAT project on hybrid catalysis for converting biomass-derived sugars into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) . The selected researcher will focus on the chemical-catalysis side of a coupled process that transforms D-glucose into D-fructose enzymatically and then dehydrates fructose into 5-HMF using acid catalysis. The main scientific challenge is to select suitable chemical catalysts, immobilize them on appropriate supports or directly...

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH is offering a Master Thesis in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, geoscience, and related fields focused on the synthesis and characterization of NiAl layered double hydroxides as precursors for Ni-based CO₂ methanation catalysts . The project is rooted in power-to-gas technologies and the Sabatier reaction , aiming to convert hydrogen and carbon dioxide into synthetic methane. The research goal is to understand the structure-activity relationship o...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Sustainable Aviation Fuels at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada). The Upham group in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to develop a tandem catalytic process that converts syngas into oxymethylene ethers (OMEs) for sustainable aviation fuels. The project is experimentally focused and combines heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst synthesis, catalyst characterization, flow reactors, gas chromato...

This postdoctoral project develops the chemical-catalysis component of the ANR TOOLS4HYBCAT project, which targets the conversion of biomass-derived D-glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). The research will focus on the acid-catalysed dehydration of D-fructose, the intermediate produced by enzymatic isomerization of D-glucose. The postdoctoral researcher will identify suitable chemical catalysts, assess their stability and compatibility with the intended operating conditions, and evaluat...

This postdoctoral project is part of a PEPR-France 2030 initiative carried out with several universities and industrial partners. The research aims to develop new catalytic materials and catalytic processes for producing fuels from CO and CO2 via the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. The successful researcher will work on catalyst preparation, advanced physico-chemical characterization, high-pressure Fischer-Tropsch testing, and analytical method development for reaction products using gas chromatograph...
