The successful candidate will work with the project team to perform catalyst evaluations, pursue structural and functional understandings of the catalysts using a suite of state-of- the-art instruments, and collaborate with staff performing the corresponding computational chemistry. Typical reactions include acid-catalyzed dehydrations and aldol condensations and metal-catalyzed (de)hydrogenations. The use of tandem or cascade strategies is sometimes employed to enable higher conversion by converting reaction intermediates in subsequent, coupled steps. Designing new multi-functional catalysts for the efficient upgrading of bio- or waste-derived feedstocks to fuels and chemicals is an important area of research and development at PNNL.

The group of Prof. Eleni Kyriakidou at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo is looking for a post-doctoral scholar to develop novel catalytic materials with enhanced low-temperature activity and durability at high temperatures related to catalytic transformations for the control of methane emissions in the atmosphere.
The research will focus on applying fundamental principles to industrially-relevant systems, and will require the development of zeolite-based catalysts.
