An exciting opportunity for a one-year postdoctoral appointment is available in the carbon capture group (http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/carboncapture/) at the University of Edinburgh in relation to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) Innovation Programme in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The project seeks to develop a novel unit operation to reduce the costs of CCS so that it can be commercially deployed by the 2020s, and involves a strong interaction with our industry partner Costain Oil & Gas Process, a leading equipment manufacturer in the oil-and-gas and power sectors.

You should have (or have submitted) a PhD in Chemical Engineering or a relevant engineering field. You must have prior experience of modelling multiphase flows using CFD, in particular gas/liquid interfacial flows.  A good knowledge of chemical engineering equipment design and relevant engineering skills that will be applied towards scale-up would be desirable. It would be preferable if you had previously engaged with industry.
