Sales Consultant (Energy & Sustainability)

Overview

This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Fellow to develop a joint research portfolio, working on sustainable fuels collaboratively with a leading international company in the field of aerospace. You will be working with fuel and energy engineering groups and communities, within their fuel and additive industry. This project will contribute to the UK government''s NetZero goals for 2030/2035 and 2050 in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement, aiming for Net-Zero CO2 emissions. The project will involve additive agents for fuels regarding their collection and characterisation, aiming at enhancing use performance for the fuel system. The project will focus on characterisation and agent dispersion mechanisms and optimisation between the additives and fuel-fluidic systems involving mixtures of two to three phases and their dispersion within the stability cycles of hydrophobic suspensions.Responsibilities

Develop a joint research portfolio and contribute to sustainable fuels projects in collaboration with an international aerospace company.Work with fuel and energy engineering groups to study additive agents for fuels, including collection, characterisation, and enhancement of fuel system performance.Investigate characterisation and dispersion mechanisms of additives, and optimise interactions between additives and fuel-fluidic systems with multi-phase mixtures and hydrophobic suspensions.Prepare and perform analyses (numerical where possible) to explore enhancement of additives to improve sustainable aviation fuel performance.Qualifications

Undergraduate honours degree (or equivalent level 6) or Masters qualification in a relevant discipline.PhD (or equivalent level qualification) with equivalent experience in fuels, small molecules, chemical engineering, molecular science, or physics.Experience and Skills

Knowledge and experience in sustainable development of fuels focusing on additive agents for fuels.Experience with additives such as fine chemicals, carbon-based fuels, and sustainable particles down to nano or cluster scales.Preparation and performance prediction (numerical if possible) for exploring enhancement of agents or additives for improving sustainable aviation fuels.Experience in preparation, analysis, and characterisation of active additives/agents within fluidic hydrophobic atomic or quantum level or nanoclusters is beneficial.Familiarity with fuel chemical additives and engineering, small molecular energizing agents (e.g., carbon/graphene quantum dots or high-density organic carbon graphite).Skills and Attributes

Good IT skills, including MS Office, with the ability to work to tight deadlines and manage conflicting priorities.Flexibility and adaptability to team and workload requirements, and the initiative to learn new ..... full job details .....
