Job Description

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, National University of Singapore, is inviting applications for 2 Research Fellow (RF) positions under Prof. Sibudjing Kawi’s group. The candidates will work on the AME research project entitled “Advanced Catalytic Membrane Reactor to Co-produce Propylene & Methane from Propane & CO₂”.

This includes the following areas:

• Development of inorganic hollow fiber membranes (e.g. MIEC, Pd-Alloy or Zeolite membranes) for gas separation at high temperature (above 500 ^oC).
• Integrate catalysts with inorganic hollow fiber membranes to form membrane reactors for various high temperature reactions.
• Write and review research papers, presenting research outcomes and develop connections with local and international researchers for collaboration work.
• Contribute to project management, provision of guidance to undergraduates as well as graduate students.
• Maintain optimal experimental progress and equipment’s in the laboratory

Qualifications

• PhD in chemistry/chemical engineering in the area of inorganic membranes (MIEC, Pd-Alloy or Zeolite membranes) and inorganic membrane reactors for high temperature reactions.
• Proven experience in the field of inorganic membrane synthesis, catalyst synthesis and reactor design in terms of publications and/or patents.
• Able to propose research proposals and co-supervise undergraduates/graduates if required.
• Strong team player skills and the ability to work harmoniously with a diverse workforce.

Candidates who are in the final stages of PhD studies (i.e submitted thesis/ pending oral defence) may also be considered.
