Key Responsibilities

  • Design and execute lignocellulosic biomass pre-treatment and fractionation strategies via green chemistry.
  • Convert biomass-derived fractions (cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose) into functional materials, such as polymers, composites, or bio-based specialty materials.
  • Perform material characterization using appropriate physicochemical techniques.
  • Optimize process parameters with consideration of sustainability, scalability, and material performance.

Requirements

  • PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Chemistry, Biomass/Bio-refinery Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Strong experimental background in lignocellulosic biomass processing, biomass fractionation, or bio-based materials synthesis.
  • Solid understanding of structure–property–process relationships in materials.
  • Track record of peer-reviewed publications and/or patents.
