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.
