Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work in the Reisner group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, UK. Producing renewable solar fuel by Artificial Photosynthesis is recognised as a promising solution to the energy & environmental crisis and the PDRA will develop approaches for the solar-driven conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into renewable fuels and chemicals as part of a multinational consortium.
The project is part of a European Union (FET OPEN) funded project on 'Soap Film based Artificial Photosynthesis'. This collaborative project will be executed with several laboratories in Europe (Uppsala, Leiden, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Trieste, Torino). The aim of this project is to convert CO2 into fuel by developing a solar fuel production technology that exploits the surfactant self-assembly properties in soap films. We will develop an artificial photosynthetic membrane in form of a soap film with integrated synthetic light absorbers and catalysts for compartmentalised solar fuel synthesis. This project bridges three mutually exclusive disciplines of surfactant science, photocatalysis and fundamental science of water at the nanoscale, supported by microsystems engineering.
Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in Chemistry or a closely related discipline. A strong background in synthetic chemistry, catalysis, mechanistic chemistry and photochemistry and the ability to coordinate activities as part of a larger interdisciplinary team are required. Experience with surfactants and microfluidics is desirable, but not essential.
Candidates are encouraged to think outside of her/his formal field of training to fit into a creative, collaborative and dynamic research environment. A strong record of research productivity, as reflected in a substantial publication record in journals of high impact as well as excellent communication, management and English writing skills will be required. The successful candidate will also be expected to help guiding undergraduate and postgraduate students.
