Job Description:
Postdoc Position in Printing & Functionalization of Ceramic Systems for Membrane and Catalysis Applications
The Postdoctoral Researcher will work on the development of 30 ceramic porous monoliths for membranes and catalysis applications using additive manufacturing and functionalization with active metal nanoparticles. The project aims to use the vat photopolymerization technology to fabricate monoliths comprising functional microchannels with a regular three-dimensional structure rationally designed for specific processes such as membranes and heterogeneous catalysis for fluid treatment and conversion. The catalytic active phase will be integrated into the monolithic structure during 3D printing or deposited on the finished ceramic support. The Postdoctoral Researcher will be responsible for the structural, morphological and textural characterizations, as well as catalytic tests on the ceramic monoliths.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit a CV, brief cover letter, and two recommendation letters to Dr. Chrystelle Salameh by email: chrystelle.salameh@umontpellier.fr.
Last Date for Apply: Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
