Descripción

The DC will be hosted by a network of highly renowned European experts and leading companies in CO2 catalysis and polymer development, allowing them to perform cutting-edge research in the most innovative environments and with a multidisciplinary spin involving different topics such as homo
- and heterogeneous catalysis, sustainable monomer/macromolecular design, polymer chemistry, thermoplastics, process scalability, depolymerization strategies, process optimization and high-throughput approaches.

The doctoral programs offered within D-Carbonize are funded under Horizon Europe's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme

Project Title and Description:

Title:

Biocarbon based Polymers for Sustainable Material Development (D-Carbonize)

Description:

D-Carbonize's approach targets biocarbon recycling into valuable starting materials for the chemical/polymer industries and will primarily provide innovative low-carb catalysis solutions.

The use of biocarbon is advantageous in many respects as it is renewable, generally abundant and non-toxic, and it represents easy-to-handle carbon reagents even on larger scale.

Despite the lack of universal (catalytic) strategies available for biocarbon valorization into monomers and polymers, recent advances in catalysis science have demonstrated the engineering and use of new promising metal

Eligibility criteria

EU eligibility criteria for all applicants:

Recruited researchers can be of any nationality and must comply with the following mobility rule: must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, et.) in the country of the
main host institution for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the recruitment date (September
October 2023)

Required Documentation:

Application form will include the upload of the following information:

Copy of B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees with annexes (academic records). If annexes do not include the number of total ECTS credits a certificate from the institution awarding the degree will be required. If not originally in English, an official translation could be requested.
Motivation letter (maximum 2 pages)

Grant Conditions

Appointment under fulltime employment contract for a period of 36 months (at two different host institutions: 21 months
Main host institution + 15 months
Secondary host Institution)
Competitive remuneration (Living Allowance = €3400/month* (correction factor to be applied per country) + mobility allowance = €600/month + family allowance if applicable = €660/month). Monthly salary and hosting institution costs for the fellow before any deductions.
The living allowance is adjusted by country correction coefficient, depending on the country where the host institution is located.
N.B. The gross salary is calculated by deducting employment costs, which vary depending on the country, from the living allowance. The gross salaries for each DC position will be published in the individual job descriptions.

Benefits

A prestigious MSCA fellowship
The opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team within a Europewide consortium of research institutions and industrial partners
Enrolment in two doctoral programs leading to a double degree (two different European universities)
An extensive networkwide training program

About ICIQ:

ICIQ, a chemistry leading institution:

The
Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is committed to solve major social and economic challenges such as climate change and the sustainable supply of raw materials and renewable energies.

Recognized with 2 Severo Ochoa Accreditations of Excellence, the Institute hosts 330 researchers organized in 15 research groups working on catalysis, renewable energies and computational chemistry.

As January of 2023, ICIQ counts with 6 ICREA Professorships and 22 European Research Council grants, being an attractive research center in the chemical field.

Located in Tarragona, close to the most important chemical hub in Southern Europe, ICIQ fosters collaboration with industry, transferring the knowledge and technology generated at the institute to promote the generation of new patents and spin-offs.

Another key pillar of ICIQ is preparing the future generation of scientists by offering high-quality training from engaging youngsters to postdoctoral researchers.
