Postdoc Opportunities in Catalysis in Australia

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland (St Lucia, Australia) in photothermal catalysis and solar methanol synthesis . The project, titled “Unravelling the photothermal effect in solar methanol synthesis” , explores how light-driven and heat-driven effects work together to improve catalyst performance for converting small molecules such as CO2 or CO into fuels like methanol under mild, energy-efficient conditions. You will work across chemical engineering , chemistry , materials science ...

Two fully funded PhD positions are available in the School of Mechanical, Medical and Process Engineering at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia. These positions focus on fluid transport processes in porous media, a field with significant implications for carbon geosequestration, hydrogen subsurface storage, fuel cells, and microfluidic device applications. The research is supported by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and supervised by Dr Zhongzheng Wang, a re...

PhD scholarship opportunity at The University of Queensland for a domestic student project on micro- and nanoplastics in drinking water . The research is based at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) and is supervised by Dr Elvis Okoffo (ARC DECRA Research Fellow). The project investigates how micro- and nanoplastics enter drinking water systems, their sources and environmental pathways, how they behave through water treatment processes, and how they can be detected ...
