**Job Description**
This Ph.D position focuses on developing a sustainable proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) based technology for efficient CO2 capture. The goal is to mitigate climate change and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through electrochemically driven CO₂ capture, which aligns with electrification strategies. The research aims to overcome limitations of current electrochemical carbon capture technologies, particularly those relying on bipolar membranes, by exploring PCET as a promising alternative. The role involves investigating suitable PCET processes, followed by designing, analyzing, and optimizing the electrochemical system, considering electrode materials, separators, and scalability.

**Skills & Abilities**
• Ambitious and talented early-stage researcher
• Keen interest in carbon capture and electrochemistry
• Understanding of carbon capture and electrochemistry

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Environmental technology/science
• Electrochemistry
• Master Degree or equivalent
