Overview
Senior Materials Scientist - Gas Phase Reaction Kinetics Project. The Green Recruitment Company is seeking a skilled Materials Scientist to drive research into advanced materials for gas-phase reaction systems. This hands-on role blends materials characterisation, surface science, and reactor engineering, offering the chance to tackle complex challenges with creativity and innovation.
Responsibilities
* Operate and maintain advanced characterisation instruments (SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA/DSC) to analyse products, catalysts, reactor surfaces, and materials under reaction conditions.
* Evaluate material stability in high-temperature, high-pressure, and chemically reactive environments.
* Investigate surface interactions, adsorption/desorption processes, and catalyst deactivation mechanisms.
* Select, test, and validate materials for reactor construction and catalyst supports, ensuring long-term suitability and durability.
* Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve material degradation or failure in reactors, recommending and implementing effective solutions.
* Work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams to design and advance innovative, sustainable reactor and catalyst systems.
* Maintain accurate records of experimental procedures, characterisation data, and equipment maintenance.
Required Experience
* MSc or PhD in Materials Science or Engineering, preferably with specialisation in high-temperature materials and catalysis.
* Proven research experience in materials characterisation techniques (SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA/DSC or equivalent).
* Solid knowledge of surface interactions, adsorption/desorption processes, and catalyst deactivation mechanisms.
* Practical experience in selecting and evaluating materials for challenging reaction environments.
