We are developing fast, cheap, environmentally friendly ways to mineralise CO2, to make stable useful products. We invite enthusiastic candidates to join our team.

As a result of recently funded projects, our research group is looking to fill a position for a part time, special consultant. We are running several projects in parallel, ranging from fundamental investigations of mineral-water-gas properties, through developing predictive models and new experimental methods and instrumentation, to design creative and cost-effective CO2 trapping processes. 

The job 
Our cross disciplinary team is working together to understand solid-water-gas interactions and the potential effects of dissolved organic compounds, using traditional techniques as well as state-of-the-art, ultrahigh resolution instruments and modelling. 

Our expectations of you
We are looking for a surface chemist or geochemist, who enjoys solving problems and working together to meet the project goals. We expect you to have:

• Experience in leadership
• Ability to mentor and guide young researchers

And a strong background in:

• Geochemistry, Physical Chemistry and Mineralogy (mineral-fluid interactions)
• Thermodynamics of surface complexation equilibria
• Kinetics of dissolution and precipitation
• Adsorption and surface complexation
• Deep experience with FITEQL and PHREEQC.

We offer
DTU is among the leading technical universities of Europe and the top in the Nordic countries. Our CO2 projects unite researchers from several DTU departments as well as national and international researchers from a number of fields.
