The University of Kentucky, Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) anticipates adding several postdoctoral engineer and scientist positions in the CO2 capture research area.

All positions require a Ph.D. in chemical engineering or chemistry from an accredited college or university. Other degrees will be considered assuming relevant experience. Prior experience in power generation or CO2 capture is highly desirable.

The ideal candidates for all positions should:
• Possess proficiency with experimental design and execution.
• Have creativity and be able to formulate new research ideas and directions and be able to work both independently and as a member of a research team.
• Have excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to present their work at scientific meetings and to peer-reviewed journals.

CO2 capture process modeling:
The successful candidate will create an accurate Aspen model of a 2 MWth scale CO2 capture process including the absorber stripping units. Other responsibilities will include collection and analysis of liquid and gas samples from the profiles of the absorber and stripping columns in order to gain insight into CO2 capture reaction kinetics.

CO2 capture process data analysis:
The successful candidate will analyze process data from a 2 MWth scale CO2 capture process to determine the effects of operational conditions on the capture process and energy usage. The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of post-combustion CO2 capture processes, both from a chemical and an engineering perspective and have previous experience with DeltaV process control systems.

CO2 capture process optimization:
The successful candidate will primarily be involved in cutting edge solvent development and process optimization for CO2 capture on an integrated bench-scale absorption/desorption unit with the goal of advancing carbon capture technology with low energy consumption towards larger scale readiness. The ideal candidate will have prior experience in CO2 capture research.

Aerosol emission monitoring and reduction from amine based CO2 capture system:
The successful candidate will investigate amine aerosol emissions from CO2 capture processes and develop emission reduction strategies and technology. The ideal candidate will have experience with aerosol analysis techniques including particle size determination and aerosol chemical speciation.

Solvent degradation, emissions and analytical method development with a focus on nitrosamines:
The successful candidate will develop analytical methods to identify and quantify solvent degradation products including nitrosamines created during the CO2 capture process. The positions primary responsibility will be evaluating solvent degradation, monitoring gas phase emissions and developing analytical methods with a specific focus on nitrosamines.
