Job description

Offer DescriptionThe Catalytic Processes and Waste Valorization (CPWV) research group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is an internationally renowned research group that works in the proposal, progress and innovation of processes of energy and environmental interest. The aim is to develop, at an international leading level, research lines in Chemical Reaction Engineering that are up-to-date and focused on sustainable development. This objective involves the training of researchers and technologists, the transmission of knowledge to the international scientific-technological community in the form of publications and collaboration with the industrial sector, on issues that combine academic, technological, social and industrial interest.The CPWV group belongs to the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Science and Technology in Leioa. It is to highlight that the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) occupies the first position in the Chemical Engineering field within the Spanish universities in the Shangai and NTU international rankings (since 2017 and 2013, respectively), as well as prominent positions in the global and European context, with a great contribution of the CPWV group’s publications. In addition, several researchers of our group are included in the Stanford University’s list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists.The group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the research line dealing with thermochemical (pyrolysis, gasification) and thermocatalytic (cracking, reforming) processes for the direct production of H2 and fuels and chemicals from biomass and waste (plastics, sludge, tyres). Professor Martin Olazar leads this research line, with the collaboration of Gartzen Lopez, Maite Artetxe and Maider Amutio (see the profiles below).A call will be opened for a full-time 2-year position as postdoctoral researcher, starting on January 2025 (flexible date). We provide a highly dynamic and stimulating work environment with unique professional career development opportunities, including a high scientific output and the possibility of collaboration in several research projects that the group has on topics of high interest and impact.

The candidate should have a PhD in Chemical Engineering and experience in pyrolysis or gasification, as well as in catalytic processes. We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic person, with strong experimental, writing and teamwork skills. Candidates should have a high written and spoken English level.Interested candidates must write an email to and include the following documents:

• Cover letter, covering the motivation of joining our research group and the knowledge and skills that the candidate will bring to the group.
