At Carbonova, their team is pioneering the transformation of greenhouse gases into high-performance carbon nanomaterials, and they're about to launch their first Commercial Demonstration Unit (CDU). They're looking for a Senior Process Engineer who’s passionate about innovation, thrives on challenge, and wants to help scale breakthrough technology from pilot to commercial reality.
What you'll do
CashewShell BioRefinery (CSBR) BV is supplying sustainable petrochemical-substitutes from agro-wastes, helping the industry with decarbonisation. CSBR BV is a start-up, upscaling a unique technology involving the synthesis of sustainable and low-tox meta-aromatic additives and resins, from an oil in the shells of cashew nuts. CSBR BV replaces traditional petrol-derived solutions with drop-in replacements, helping industrial materials-formulators with achieving a balance of safety, performance, sustainability and value for money.
The mission of the Center for Sustainable Catalysis and Engineering (CSCE) is to advance knowledge that deepens our understanding of catalysis in the emerging circular and carbon-smart economy. Our research spans fundamental and applied catalysis in both chemistry and engineering.
The Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis (CEBC) is a designated research center at the University of Kansas (KU). In 2003 the center was established as an National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center (ERC) with the mission to develop cleaner, safer, energy-efficient technologies that protect the planet and human health. The CEBC Director establishes the Center's research mission, vision and goals in alignment with the university’s strategic plan.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to start at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in early 2025. Our research will integrate inorganic and organometallic synthesis, catalysis and organic chemistry to develop new synthetic strategies using abundant metals. We offer the opportunity to join a young and dynamic research environment, focused on new sustainable chemical processes. The position will be based on the synthesis of new biofuels using alkali-metal catalyzed transformations.
Start Date: March 2025 (or upon agreement)
