Postdoctoral Researcher in Light-Driven CO2 Capture

Our group is actively developing a novel photoacid-based approach for efficient CO2 capture, optimizing both the local chemical environment in photoacids and their molecular structure to enhance sorption capacity and stability. We seek a postdoctoral researcher who will contribute to these efforts.

The Electrochemical Energy Systems Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position focused on light-driven CO2 capture. ETH Zurich is one of the world’s leading universities specialising in science and technology.
