Unlocking Sustainable Aviation Fuels: PhD Researcher Position
1 month ago
The University of Cambridge is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD studentship to contribute to the development of sustainable aviation fuels. As part of the EU/UKRI-funded project SusAlgaeFuel, this research opportunity will focus on addressing the current challenges in the hydrogenation of algal lipids.
About the ProjectThis PhD project aims to investigate the conversion pathways for algae lipids to HEFA-SPK, developing a novel, algae-specific bifunctional catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. The goal is to characterise the algae lipid-to-HEFA conversion process and understand the catalytic mechanisms that promote the production of SPK-desired C9-C15 alkanes from algal feedstocks.
Key Objectives- Experimental investigation of algae lipid conversion to HEFA-SPK using a novel bifunctional catalyst.
- Development of a lab pilot to produce 1 kg of HEFA-SAF.
This PhD opportunity comes with a fully funded stipend and tuition fees at the UK rate. Non-UK applicants are also welcome to apply, provided they can cover the overseas fees differential or have been awarded a suitable scholarship.
BenefitsAs a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge, you will be part of a dynamic and collaborative research environment. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and work closely with Dr Ewa Marek and other experts in the field. This project offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to the development of sustainable aviation fuels and advance your career in a highly interdisciplinary research area.
