Polytechnique is a leading Canadian Engineering School with an exceptional 
Chemical Engineering Department, located on the Campus of the University 
of Montréal.  The Product and Process Design Laboratory at Polytechnique 
has a history of success through their research program as measured by 
their track record helping to catalyze bioeconomy projects in industry, 
and recently, we initiated a program with a global forestry company to 
explore the techno-economic and LCA-based environmental implications 
resulting from the implementation of fast pyrolysis technology.  We 
currently have two open post-doctoral positions in this regard, and are 
seeking well-qualified candidates passionate about systems engineering and 
analytics, applied to the bioeconomy.

Preference will be given to post-doctoral candidates having the following 
qualifications, in order of priority, through their PhD work or otherwise:

1.  Experience in applying systems analysis tools,, specializing for each 
position:

 - Techno-economics of bioprocesses
 - Life cycle assessment of bioprocesses

2.  Experience with fast pyrolysis technologies, and process modeling 
3.  Multi-disciplinary product and process design experience

Strong command of the English language is essential.  We are interested in 
candidates available to begin as soon as possible.
