Job Summary

This position is for a highly motivated Research Associate or Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Green Functional Materials group at the Institute for Nanoscale and Biobased Materials. The role focuses on independent project research within the "Filtrolution" project, aiming to produce reactive membranes from biobased polymers and nanomaterials (e.g., nanocellulose) for applications in water treatment, biomedicine, and catalysis. A key technique involved is nanofiber production via electrospinning. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research, publishing results, engaging in transfer and networking activities, and supervising student theses with limited teaching duties. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a dynamic and independent team, working at the intersection of biobased polymers, their chemistry, material properties, and processing.
