Job Description
Who are we
We are the University of Cambridge presence in Singapore called Cambridge CARES sponsored by the NRF CREATE program . CARES also hosts industry-funded and other agencies funded projects. Our team is comprised of world-class scientists and engineers working in a vibrant fast-paced environment with great opportunities for knowledge and skills development.
CARES is leading a new project Sustainable Manufacture of Molecules and Materials (SM3) funded by NRF CREATE programme within the Decarbonisation Grand Challenge. SM3 project is a collaboration with NTU NUS CARES & the University of Cambridge and EPFL. The broad aim of the project is to develop novel approaches and technologies for fully de-fossilised routes to complex functional molecules and molecular materials. The project will explore novel chemical transformations for conversion of net-zero feedstocks to building blocks typically used in pharma agrochem and other end applications. The project will also explore novel synthetic methods for conversion of the building blocks into end-use functional molecules. Novel synthesis technologies (photoelectrochemistry sonochemistry mechanochemistry etc) as well as advanced research methods (AI chemoinformatics high-throughput synthesis) and process metrics (LCA and technoeconomic analysis) are included in this large project.
