PhD Student in Bio-materials Engineering
at the Department of Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics
Ref. no. MIUN 2011/1060
Subject area: The proposed position concerns the developments of processing principles and structural design criteria for new ?forest-based? bio materials. As the green transformation of the society progresses, there have been increasing demands in the public for replacing fossil-fuel-based materials (?plastics?) with bio-renewable and bio-degradable alternatives. Our forest and our forest product industries have enormous potential of deriving and developing a new generation of green materials to meet this public demand. The proposed project is part of a larger research initiative, ?FORE?, recently started at Mid Sweden University. This program aims at developing and demonstrating a new bio-refinery system based on the mechanical pulp operations that are present in the region.
Specifically the project will investigate mass transport properties and mechanical properties of 3D fibre networks, which are made of fibre/fibril materials extracted from the forest bio refinery streams. The applications of such materials include flexible food packaging, industrial filters, and other consumer/healthcare products. The approaches taken will be both theoretical and experimental, using computational modelling and simulations and structure characterisations by advanced microscopy techniques.
Qualifications: The candidate must hold a university degree equivalent to a Bachelor?s or Master?s degree with a major in physical sciences or materials science/engineering. Prior work/industrial experiences are an asset.
Place of work: The post is based in Sundsvall, Sweden.
Start date: Immediate.
