EPSRC DTP Internship: Exploring Gaseous Emissions in Applied Smouldering Systems

1 month ago

Milton Keynes, United Kingdom The Open University Full time

Please note this position will be employed via a temporary staff agency.

Location: Milton Keynes campus

Please quote reference: STEM Internships (please quote the full title of the role you wish to apply for)

Terms: 10 weeks full-time, 37 hours per week Monday to Friday. Proposed start dated 1 July 2024.

Closing Date: 7th May 2024

The role

This project will explore a novel thermal waste treatment technology, applied smouldering.  Applied smouldering has recently emerged as a sustainable means to treat challenging wastes, which are otherwise disposed of in hazardous landfills (e.g., contaminated soils). While engineers and scientists are making strides in developing this technology to solve environmental challenges, the gaseous emissions are poorly understood. Oftentimes, the emissions contain hazards that require treatment; however, beneficial compounds can be produced (e.g., H2). Ultimately, this project targets this knowledge gap to improve the efficiency and sustainability of smouldering waste treatment.

The full summary of duties and person specification can be found within the Job Description.
