About this position
The University of Sherbrooke in Canada is offering PhD and postdoctoral positions focused on membrane-based biogas purification and upgrading. The project aims to develop advanced membrane technologies to enhance renewable energy production by selectively separating impurities and CO2 from raw biogas, producing high-purity biomethane. Research activities include membrane material synthesis, surface modification, gas purification, process design, and system evaluation.
The positions are co-supervised by Prof. Wen Ma and Prof. Federico Galli in the chemical and biotechnological department, with additional collaboration from industrial and international partners.
Candidates should have a strong background in chemical engineering, especially in membrane science, gas separation, and materials synthesis. The PhD position offers CAD 23,000 – 26,000 in the first year, with annual increases and scholarship opportunities. The postdoc position offers CAD 45,000 – 50,000 in the first year, with potential to reach CAD 60,000 with additional fellowships.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, and references via the provided application links before November 30, 2025. The project provides comprehensive training and exposure to both academic and industrial perspectives, preparing candidates for careers in academia and industry.
