Positions Available: Postdoctoral Research Fellows - Carbon Dioxide Capture
Sunday, 29 August 2010 06:09

Research Fellows – Carbon Dioxide Capture

The CRC for Greenhouse Gas Technologies(CO2CRC) is seeking to appoint two new post-doctoral fellows into the carbon dioxide capture program. The positions are located in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Melbourne. The successful applicants will work on projects developing processes for the capture of carbon dioxide using absorption technology, membrane contactors and gas separation membranes. The work will include laboratory experiments, as well as Aspen HYSYS simulations and field work at our on-site pilot scale equipment in the Latrobe Valley. The positions represent an excellent opportunity to develop ground breaking technology in this emerging field and to apply the outcomes in our industrial partners within the CO2CRC.

Close date: 05 September 2010

 More details are available on the University of Melbourne website (jobs.unimelb.edu.au). The position number is 0024502.

Invitation: Submit manuscript to special "Porous Materials" edition of MATERIALS
Monday, 02 August 2010 23:23

materials-logo-newsYou are invited to submit a manuscript to a special "Porous Materials" edition of MATERIALS (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/materials/, ISSN 1996-1944).

Porous materials are finding application in fields such as membranes for water purification and gas separation or the slow release of drugs, and  porous (single crystal) semi-conductors for uses in photonics, sensors, Li ion batteries, MEMS, and bio technology. Similarly there is a wide range of fabrication techniques, such as lithography, phase inversion, templating and vapor deposition, and characterizing such materials has required advances in imaging and spectroscopy. Articles that focus on the characterization, fabrication, performance or modelling of porous materials are welcomed, and organic, inorganic and composite materials systems will be considered.

You should submit your manuscripts by e-mail to materials@mdpi.com by the deadline of 28 February 2011. The subject title of the message should be "Manuscript for Special Issue on Porous Materials 2011".

For further details regarding this special edition, please contact stephen.gray@vu.edu.au
