Faculty Positions POST DOCTORAL FELLOW: ALGAL-BASED FUELS Dept:  DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING   Posted:  10/14/2008 Position Summary The position is funded by a start-up biotechnology company headquartered in California, focusing on the catalytic conversion of algal oils to fuels. Oils produced from algae can potentially out-produce other renewable fuel processes by an order of magnitude on a per-acre production comparison, and are therefore the most exciting of all the proposed biofuel technologies. The successful applicant will support the process by providing engineering support for design of catalytic reactors, bioreactors, and process modeling. The position will begin in January 2009. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D in chemical or biochemical engineering, or closely related field. Required qualifications are laboratory experience with analytical instrumentation, experience with designing and construction of catalytic reactors, and excellent communication skills.
