Postdoctoral Position on the Study of Reaction Mechanism of the Syngas Conversion to Methylated Aromatics by the OXZEO Process

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

Posted: 1 August 2026 - Villeurbanne, France

About this opening

This postdoctoral position at the CNRS focuses on deciphering the reaction mechanisms involved in the conversion of syngas to methylated aromatics through the OXZEO process. The project aims to establish conversion-selectivity curves and identify key parameters for optimal catalytic performance. The work will be conducted within the CATREN team at the Lyon Institute for Research into Catalysis and the Environment, which specializes in heterogeneous catalysis for energy transition. Candidates should have strong skills in heterogeneous catalysis and experience with catalytic testing.
