Umeå, Västerbotten, Sweden Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet Full time

At Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet, we are committed to advancing sustainable development through science and education. Our Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology is part of this mission, conducting high-quality research and education on forest biomaterials and technology.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to our research on sustainable absorbents. The successful candidate will investigate the production of absorbent materials from various relevant feedstock, including by-products from select Nordic industries.

Key responsibilities include working with material preparation and pre-treatments, characterisation of feedstock, the use of bench-scale pyrolysis systems, and analysis of absorbent performance from a variety of wastewater types using laboratory and pilot-scale setups. A major focus of this position is to design and develop greener production methods that enhance the sustainability of absorbent materials from a holistic viewpoint while maintaining their effectiveness.

We require a PhD degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related fields. Previous experience with organic/inorganic sorbents and wastewater treatments is necessary, as well as demonstrated skills in laboratory experimental methods and analysis of results.
