Scientist, Process Engineering & Safety (Isce2)

Job Scope Design, develop, and execute research projects in membrane science and technology for sustainable and low-carbon separations. Develop advanced polymeric membranes, thin-film composite membranes, mixed-matrix membranes, and molecular-sieving membranes by incorporating sustainable polymers, functional nanomaterials, porous fillers, and advanced crosslinking/interfacial engineering strategies. Optimize membrane microstructure, free volume, interfacial compatibility, and transport pathways to achieve high permeability, selectivity, and long-term stability under complex operating conditions. Conduct membrane fabrication, modification, and performance evaluation for applications such as CO2 capture, H2 purification, vapor/VOC separation, organic solvent separation, resource recovery, and industrial fluid purification. Utilize and troubleshoot advanced characterization techniques, including SEM, TEM, AFM, FTIR, XPS, TGA, DSC, DMA, rheology, gas sorption, and permeation measurements, for membrane structure-property analysis. Interpret experimental results, compile technical reports, and present research outcomes at project meetings and international conferences. Lead the preparation of high-impact manuscripts for top-tier peer-reviewed journals and actively contribute to patent applications and technology translation. Conduct comprehensive literature reviews and propose innovative approaches for developing stable, recyclable, scalable, and high-performance membrane materials. Assist in mentoring junior researchers, students, and interns, and contribute to collaborative projects with academic and industrial partners. JobRequirement PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Polymer Science, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline. Strong research background in membrane science and technology, polymer materials, functional materials, or selective separations. Prior experience in polymer membranes, thin-film composite mem…
