This project is part of the Wallenberg Wood Science Center, a leading research initiative focused on creating new materials from trees.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and adapt confocal microscopy techniques for assessing wood cell wall porosity
  • Collaborate with research groups on valorization of biomass, solid biomaterial characterization, and imaging techniques
  • Contribute to the development of analytical tools for separation and recovery of wood components

Qualifications

  • PhD degree in biomass processing and valorization or solid biomaterial characterization
  • Experience with advanced microscopy and/or other imaging techniques, particularly FRAP
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, collaboration, and self-motivation

Contract Terms

This postdoctoral position is a full-time temporary employment for two years. Chalmers offers a stimulating and collaborative work environment. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team committed to advancing the field of biomass valorization and wood characterization.
