SUSTAINABLE METAL CATALYSTS SCHOLARSHIP: Join our pioneering research project in developing bespoke non-precious metal-based catalysts for sustainable carbon dioxide reduction and transformation. As part of this scholarship, you’ll have the opportunity to work with world-class researchers and contribute to cutting-edge discoveries in catalysis and CO2 valorization.
Designation: PhD Candidate
Research Area: Sustainable carbon dioxide reduction and transformation by bespoke non-precious metal-based catalysts.
Location: University of Tasmania, Hobart
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Applicants must have a First-Class Honours degree or equivalent qualifications in organic, inorganic, or organometallic synthesis.
- Strong research and analytical skills are essential.
- Full-time availability and the ability to undertake the project on-campus.
- Open to Australian, New Zealand, and International candidates.
Job Description:
As a PhD candidate, you will be engaged in the development and application of new catalysts inspired by enzymes for the valorization of CO2. Your role will involve organic, inorganic, and organometallic synthesis, including standard spectroscopy characterisation techniques. Additionally, you will contribute to the understanding of CO2 activation by organometallic complexes and innovative strategies to transforming CO2 into value-added materials.
