Scott Habershon is currently recruiting a post-doctoral research fellow to work on a new EPSRC-funded project focussing on the development of automated computational schemes for direct design of homogeneous metal-free catalysts for CO2 transformations. Combining automated reaction discovery simulations, microkinetic modelling, machine learning, and global optimization, this project will develop a new and exciting route to addressing one of society’s grand challenges – turning CO2 from pollutant to commodity.
The successful candidate will join the Habershon research group in the Warwick Centre for Computational and Theoretical Chemistry (CaTCh), based in the Department of Chemistry at University of Warwick. CaTCh is a vibrant community of 6 academic research groups – around 40 PhDs and research fellows in total – with strong interdisciplinary links to researchers in engineering, physics, mathematics, and life sciences. Our research is supported by excellent on-campus high-performance computing facilities through Warwick’s Scientific Computing Research Technology Platform (SCRTP).
This project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), and is available for 36 months (subject to satisfactory completion of probation requirements).
