As Postdoctoral Researcher in the Sustainable Process Technology (SPT) group at University of Twente, you will focus on developing strategies for purifying lignocellulosic biomass-derived streams prior further processing. Do you have expertise in the field of biomass conversion technologies? Then this could be the opening you are looking for.
The aim of this project is to develop affordable technical solutions to free lignocellulosic liquid streams from undesired contaminants, which can also be applicable for additional cleaning of first-generation biomass derived streams.
In this position you will have your own (technical) line of research on developing cleaning strategies for lignocellulosic-derived streams prior further processing, at laboratory scale. Additionally, techno-economic feasibility studies on the strategies analysed will be envisioned.
YOUR PROFILE
• You have a PhD in Chemical Engineering and a demonstrated record or strong promise of research productivity
• You have experience in biomass conversion technologies
• You are skilled in working in a laboratory (e.g. building/modifying set-ups, running analyses)
• You have a strong analytical and conceptual skills
• You have an excellent command of English and good communication skills
OUR OFFER
• Full-time position, 38 hours per week
