About this position

This postdoctoral appointment is part of Infinity Fiber, an eight-year research project at Karlstad University focused on the transition toward climate-friendly and circular fibre value chains. The position sits in the Department of Engineering and Chemical Sciences, where researchers work across construction engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental and energy systems in a collaborative faculty environment.

The project brings together senior researchers, four postdoctoral researchers, and fourteen industry partners in a multidisciplinary setting with strong academic-industry collaboration. The work is centred on the full forest-based value chain, with particular attention to fibre circularity, innovative separation processes, carbon circularity, and sustainability assessment. The appointed researcher will contribute to an integrated framework for assessing the environmental and financial performance of climate-smart fibre technologies and circular value chains.

Research tasks include collecting and processing data from experimental work and industry sources, building databases, and modelling sustainable value chains under alternative technological development paths and future scenarios. The project combines process simulation, techno-economic assessment, life-cycle assessment, and AI-based approaches such as machine learning to support data-driven product and process development. The role also includes uncertainty analysis, dynamic system responses, and strategies for extending fibre use through reutilisation, recycling, and improved longevity across multiple product cycles.

The position offers a practice-focused research environment with close collaboration across chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental and energy systems, alongside industrial partners. The outcome is intended to provide tools and knowledge for decision-making on technology choice, product development, and sustainability planning across the forest-based sector.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in environmental engineering, industrial engineering and management, chemical engineering, or another related subject relevant to the position, or have equivalent qualifications from abroad. The PhD must have a clear specialisation in environmental systems analysis and sustainability assessment, process simulation, and techno-economic viability, and must be completed before appointment; the degree should normally have been completed no more than three years before the application deadline, unless special grounds apply. Strong independent research ability, teamwork skills, clear communication, good judgment, and the ability to work constructively with industry and interdisciplinary colleagues are required. A good command of spoken and written English is required, and proficiency in Swedish is desirable. Experience with AI, machine learning, predictive analytics, data-driven modelling, LCA and decision support systems, programming such as Python, simulation and optimisation methods, publication record, industry collaboration, and international research experience are all advantageous.

How to apply

Submit the application through Karlstad University’s web-based recruitment system, Varbi. Include the required CV, cover letter, publication list, language account, degree certificate or equivalent documentation, selected publications, and two references. Ensure the application is complete and submitted by the deadline; paper-only materials must be sent to the address specified in the advert.
