Postdoctoral Fellowship in Experimental Physical Chemistry of Carbon Capture under High Pressure Conditions
Department of Chemistry
College of Physical and Engineering Science
University of Guelph
Temporary full-time from May 1, 2013 to August 31, 2015
Hiring #2013-0020
Applications are sought for a postdoctoral fellow to conduct experimental research on the properties, structure and stability of aqueous species in amine-carbon dioxide mixtures using state-of-the-art high-precision solution calorimeters and solution-phase Raman spectroscopy. These are unique instruments, custom-made to operate at extremes of temperature and pressure. This international collaboration with the Université Blaise Pascale in Clermont Ferrand, France, includes Raman studies to determine the speciation of equilibrium liquid phases below and above the lower critical solution temperature; hydrothermal reactions that control oxide dissolution; calorimetric studies of the dissolution and phase separation processes; and the development of advanced thermodynamic models.
The position may include be opportunities for research exchange visits between the U. of Guelph and France.
