Sustainable Cellulose Fiber Production

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our dynamic team at Karlstad University. The successful candidate will lead experimental investigations into the dissolution and regeneration of cellulose for textile applications with a focus on reducing the amount of chemicals used in traditional processes and identifying new, sustainable alternatives.

The researcher will apply computational chemistry to model and refine experimental designs to better understand molecular interactions and process efficiencies. This position is part of the Mission 0 House initiative, which aims to eliminate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions at the chemical reaction level from the production of materials and products.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead experimental investigations into cellulose dissolution and regeneration for textile applications
  • Apply computational chemistry to model and refine experimental designs
  • Contribute to the development of biobased polymer production methods
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers at Mission 0 House
Required Skills and Qualifications

To be eligible for this position, you should have a PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science with a solid content of chemistry. You should also have experience in experimental methodologies, particularly in polymer or cellulose processing techniques, strong analytical skills, and a demonstrated interest in computational chemistry.

Prior experience in both experimental methods and computational chemistry will be highly valued. You should also be able to teach Applied Chemistry and have the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams as well as independently.

Assessment Criteria:

  • Experience in experimental techniques, particularly in polymer or cellulose processing
  • Scientific publications relevant to the research area
  • Graduate level courses in the chemistry of polymers and chemical thermodynamics
  • Experience in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, or simulations
