Laboratory r&d study - m/f

We are looking for an "TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (For a Laboratory R&D Study) - M/F" for one of our clients, to be based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France) for a 12-month contract (potentially renewable).


"TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (For a Laboratory R&D Study) - M/F". What will your responsibilities and missions be?


Objective

Conduct experimental research on a new type of amine-based solvent that precipitates when loaded with CO₂, potentially offering advantages over conventional liquid-phase capture processes.

Key Tasks

Preliminary Training in Japan:

* One-month assignment at the research center of a Japanese partner company (Tokyo)
* Goal: become familiar with the application and handling of the precipitating solvent

Experimental Work in France:

* Location: Research center of a private company in the South of France
* Design and perform bench-scale experiments to evaluate the performance of the solvent in post-combustion CO₂ capture
* Focus on determining the effectiveness and practical advantages of the precipitation process compared to traditional solvents

Collaboration with Specialized Team:

* Work closely with a team of experts in thermodynamics and reaction kinetics
* Integrate kinetic and thermodynamic measurements into the overall performance assessment of the solvent

Context

* The project is part of an international collaboration between a French and a Japanese private company
* The solvent represents a disruptive innovation in the field of carbon capture


Deliverables

* Design and prepare the experimental setup: Set up the necessary equipment and protocols to carry out the tests under controlled conditions
* Conduct laboratory experiments: Perform the experimental campaign according to the defined procedures and objectives
* Analyze experimental data: Process and interpret the data collected during the experiments to assess solvent performance and behavior
* Summarize findings and report to stakeholders: Compile results into clear, structured technical reports and share outcomes with the company representative


What profile and skills are Required for this "TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (For a Laboratory R&D Study) - M/F" Position?


Required Skills and Qualifications

* Proven ability to lead and conduct independent research projects: Typically demonstrated by individuals holding a PhD or equivalent experience
* Advanced expertise in physical chemistry and carbon capture processes
* Strong background in reaction mechanisms, phase behavior, and CO₂ absorption technologies.
* Ability to design and develop innovative experimental setups
* Capable of building customized in-house systems tailored to specific research objectives
* Rigorous and analytical mindset
* Methodical approach to experimentation, data analysis, and problem-solving
* Collaborative and open-minded attitude
* Willingness to engage with multidisciplinary teams and share knowledge constructively
