CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Direct Air Capture with Amine Solutions
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
Direct air capture is increasingly seen as a necessary part of the technology portfolio that will address the global challenge of man-made climate change. The Postdoctoral Fellow will develop and assess innovative gas-liquid contacting concepts that enable efficient capture of CO2 from ambient air. These concepts will be inspired by gas/liquid contactors found in nature such as leaves. Dedicated high surface area contactors and low energy requirement processes are needed to progress this technology towards large scale deployment. If successful a much broader range of CO2-storage and -utilisation options will become accessible enabling a large contribution to climate change mitigation.
