Chemical Engineering Research information

What is a chemical engineering research?

A Chemical Engineering Research job involves investigating and developing new chemical processes, materials, or technologies. Researchers work in laboratories, pilot plants, or industrial settings to improve efficiency, sustainability, and safety in chemical production. They analyze reactions, test new formulations, and optimize existing processes for industries like pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing. This role often requires a strong background in chemistry, engineering principles, and data analysis.

What are the typical daily responsibilities in chemical engineering research?

Professionals in Chemical Engineering Research typically spend their days designing and conducting laboratory experiments, analyzing data, and interpreting results to advance scientific understanding or improve processes. They often collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including other engineers, scientists, and technical staff, sharing findings and troubleshooting experimental challenges. Additional daily tasks may include documenting procedures, preparing reports or publications, maintaining lab equipment, and staying updated on the latest industry developments. This hands-on and dynamic environment requires strong organization skills and a willingness to adapt as research priorities evolve.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in chemical engineering research?

A strong background in chemical engineering principles, laboratory research methods, and data analysis, usually supported by an advanced degree in chemical engineering or a related field, is essential for success in Chemical Engineering Research. Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation, simulation software like Aspen Plus or MATLAB, and relevant safety certifications are commonly required. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, collaboration skills, and clear scientific communication are vital soft skills in this field. These competencies enable researchers to design effective experiments, interpret results accurately, and contribute innovative solutions to real-world chemical engineering challenges.

Job description

Post-Doctoral Researcher - Chemical, Biology & Material Engineering

Tampa, FL, United States

Position Summary

The Thompson Group is seeking a postโ€‘doctoral researcher to conduct research in the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of supported single atom and metal clusters on thin film oxides for catalytic and energy storage applications. Key target research topics are light hydrocarbon upgrading and ammonia synthesis. Under the supervision of Professor Thompson with mentorship from Professors John Kuhn, Mari Andiappan, and Venkat Bhethanabotla, the researcher will investigate synergistic interactions between supported catalysts using in situ and ex situ characterization and reaction testing techniques.

Responsibilities
  • Synthesize high surface area thin film oxides by advanced deposition techniques
  • Prepare supported single atom and metal cluster catalysts using impregnation and precipitation methods
  • Characterize bulk and surface properties of catalysts using Xโ€‘ray diffraction, electron microscopy, temperatureโ€‘programmed techniques, and Xโ€‘ray photoelectron spectroscopy
  • Conduct catalytic reaction testing to determine activities (e.g., turnover frequencies) and selectivities, and investigate reaction mechanisms via kinetic analysis
  • Present results at local, national, and international meetings
  • Contribute to manuscript preparation for publication in peerโ€‘reviewed journals
  • Perform other jobโ€‘related duties as assigned
Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

Doctoral degree from an accredited institution with experience and training in Chemical Engineering or related field. Must meet university criteria for the appointment rank of Postโ€‘Doctoral Researcher.
