Adsorption Specialist – MOF Applications
Nottingham, United Kingdom | Posted on 13/01/2025 Attitudes to climate change are driving more action to implement decarbonisation solutions. Promethean, through its use of Continuous Flow Hydrothermal Synthesis (CFHS) and patented reactor systems, is delivering the materials and technology to meet these demands via MOF-based carbon capture. Job Description
Adsorption Specialist – MOF Applications
Are you looking to apply your adsorption characterisation skills in a commercial setting, getting to see the real-world impact of your work?
Promethean Particles is a global pioneer in the development and scale manufacturing of high-specification advanced materials. Our mission is to help decarbonise the world by unleashing the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
We’re looking for an Adsorption Specialist with strong laboratory skills and experience of analysing solid sorbents (preferably MOFs) for gas separation applications. Using a wide variety of characterisation methods, you will be the critical link between the team synthesising these novel materials and the engineers focusing on application development with our customers.
You will be designing lab-based experiments, conducting material performance testing, and delivering data analysis, so need to have strong proficiency in these areas. We’re a fast-moving startup with many stakeholders, so you need to be good at communicating with different audiences and able to quickly change focus as priorities shift.
Candidates should have:
PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field with a focus on adsorption processes or gas separation.
Hands-on experience in adsorption characterisation (e.g. BET, TGA, breakthrough analysis).
Proficiency in lab-based experimental design, material performance testing, data regression, and analysis.
Good understanding of the impact of material properties on gas separation processes and system design.
Able to engage and communicate scientific findings as oral and written communication with different audiences.
Proficiency in modelling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Aspen).
Experience in leading technical and scientific projects independently.
Knowledge and/or experience of MOFs.
General requirements:
A right to work in the UK without restriction, as this role does not come with visa sponsorship.
A sound appreciation for the Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) implications associated with the production, processing, and handling of hazardous materials.
Our evolving total compensation philosophy is designed around performance-based remuneration - competitive base pay, variable pay that rewards both individual and company performance, and comprehensive benefits that currently include:
Private medical insurance (with vision and dental provisions)
Company matched pension
Company sick pay
Flexible approach to working hours
Promethean also provides both formal and informal learning opportunities within a diverse, inclusive, and rewarding work environment.
We offer the chance to work within a small yet growing agile company and directly and visibly contribute to its growth and success.
A unique opportunity to help the planet and its people through the successful deployment of our pioneering technology.
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
Promethean is committed to diversity in our workforce and providing equal opportunities for employment. We encourage every employee to bring their whole self to work each day, not only to deliver more value but also to have a more fulfilling career.
