Special Instructions to Applicants
This is a one year contract position with potential for renewal.
Department Summary
The Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) is a cross-campus technology-translation entity at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
ICM translates pioneering carbon management strategies from the laboratory / bench-scale to pre-commercial / commercial-scale devices, prototypes, and software solutions.
ICM's activities span two major focus areas : (1) Technologies for CO2 removal (from the atmosphere and the ocean), utilization, and avoidance (2) Technologies for creating new supply chains, and processing approaches for critical materials and elements (e.
g., Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo) that are foundational to accelerating the clean energy transition, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of extractive processes.
ICM is organized into action teams that are convergent, agile, and world-class. Prominently, these action teams have enabled ICM-born technologies to be awarded the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, and the 2021 Liveability Challenge, among others.
ICM's technologies are now being commercialized via spin-out companies including CarbonBuilt Inc., Concrete-AI Inc., and Equatic Inc.
Position Summary
The Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) is seeking Chemical Process Engineers to join a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists developing carbon removal technologies to be commercialized on a global scale.
The process engineer will be responsible for design, development and optimization of process and plant design, across scales (bench, pilot, commercial) and ensuring successful operation while adhering to all applicable safety and environmental standards and regulations.
The position will collaborate closely with broader teams of diverse subject matter experts, who are impact- and schedule-driven and results-focused.
