**Job Description**
This joint PhD project aims to overcome critical challenges in CO2 reduction and conversion via electrochemical processes by developing a new class of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The research involves designing AEMs with high ion exchange capacity, broad pH and solvent tolerance, and tailored hydroxyl conductivity and selectivity against co-existing anions. The developed membranes will be evaluated in full membrane electrode assembly (MEA) systems to improve process performance and energy efficiency, paving the way for future generation membrane-based CO2 electrolysers for sustainable carbon reduction and conversion.
**Skills & Abilities**

• Fluent English (written and verbal communication) for scientific interactions.
• Self-motivated, passionate, and great interpersonal skills.
• International mobility.
• Willingness to work at interdisciplinary boundaries and in international teams.
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Chemical Engineering
• Chemistry
• Polymer Chemistry
• Relevant disciplines (Master’s degree with first class honour / high distinction)
