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. If this opportunity interests you, please email (a) your CV, (b) a 1-page Statement of Interest, and (c) up to 3 related publications to Professor Paul Stuart: [log in to unmask]
