About the Project
The ProWater Project, funded by the EU Interreg Aurora programme, aims to utilize industrial by-products as secondary resources in wastewater treatment. This project has the potential to increase resource efficiency, reduce waste disposal impact, lower greenhouse gas emissions, decrease water pollution, and promote a circular economy.
However, various challenges exist in realizing this potential. These include limited knowledge on feedstock suitability as absorbents, data on processing needs, and the effectiveness of secondary sourced materials in treatment systems at representative scales.
This position seeks to generate new knowledge that helps overcome these challenges and promotes a more circular economy in Nordic regions.
Your Role
As a Postdoctoral Researcher at Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), you will investigate the production of absorbent materials from various relevant feedstock. You will work with material preparation and pre-treatments, characterization of feedstock, pyrolysis systems, activation methods, and analysis of absorbent performance from different wastewater types using laboratory and pilot-scale setups.
You will design and develop greener production methods that enhance the sustainability of absorbent materials from a holistic viewpoint while maintaining their effectiveness.
Requirements
- A PhD degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related fields
- Previous experience with organic/inorganic sorbents and wastewater treatments
- Demonstrated skills in laboratory experimental methods and analysis of results
- Excellent fluency in English with good communication and presentation skills
- Strong evidence of English language authorship (e.g., scientific journal publications)
- The ability to work independently and collaboratively in groups
About SLU
SLU is a leading institution in developing sustainable living based on science and education. We focus on interactions between humans, animals, and ecosystems and responsible use of natural resources.
