Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland Karlstad University Full time

Karlstad University is proud to offer a stimulating work environment that fosters innovation and excellence in research. Our researchers and students collaborate closely with partners from academia and industry to advance knowledge and solve real-world problems.

About the Job

This 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.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop computational models to optimize the viscose process and evaluate new solvents.
  2. Investigate alternative cellulose dissolution and regeneration methods for textile fibers.
  3. Collaborate with researchers from academia and industry to advance the understanding of biobased materials and their applications.
Qualifications and Requirements

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.
