Postdoctoral Researcher in Sustainable Chemistry
4 days ago
Karlstad University is a leading institution in Sweden for education and research. Our mission is to provide broad-based, multidisciplinary programmes for students, while developing strong areas of research. We value diversity, gender equality, and a democratic approach in all aspects of our organization.
About the JobThis postdoctoral researcher position is part of the Mission 0 House initiative, which aims to establish an industry-led, mission-driven, collaborative research arena in Gothenburg, Sweden. The goal is to eliminate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions at the chemical reaction level from the production of materials and products.
The successful candidate will work on the development of regenerated cellulose fibers, with a focus on dissolving pulp performance for viscose filament production. They will review chemicals employed in the regenerated cellulose production from a greenhouse gas perspective to design a zero-emission production pathway.
The challenges faced in this research will be tackled by combining experimental and computational approaches. The researcher will investigate alternative cellulose dissolution and regeneration methods for textile fibers. The most promising techniques will be subjected to fiber spinning trials and property testing in collaboration with the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås and automotive textile industry partners.
Key Responsibilities- Develop models at different levels, including molecular dynamics, DFT, and mesoscale simulations, to optimize the viscose process and evaluate new solvents.
- Examine the environmental sustainability of the processes with a focus on solvent recovery and recycling, with the goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions.
- Work collaboratively with researchers from academia and industry to advance the understanding of biobased materials and their applications.
To be successful in this role, you should have a PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science with a solid content of chemistry, or a related field. You should also have a strong background in experimental methodologies, particularly in polymer or cellulose processing techniques, strong analytical skills, and a demonstrated interest in computational chemistry.
You must be able to teach Applied Chemistry and have the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams as well as independently. Since you will be working in an international environment, you need to be proficient in oral and written English.
