About this position
The University of Rostock’s Faculty of Agriculture, Civil Engineering and Environment is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher / Research Associate in Waste and Material Flow Management for the Entalit research project at the Chair of Waste and Material Flow Management.
The researcher will develop and conduct technology, sustainability, and system assessments, including defining system boundaries and recording and evaluating relevant material, water, and energy flows. A central part of the project is the scientific development, piloting, and scaling of a process engineering chain for the preparation and processing of dandelion roots.
The role also involves supporting the construction and commissioning of a pilot plant, developing and integrating in-process analytics, and identifying suitable measuring and sampling points in cooperation with the chemical industry. The postdoctoral researcher will document project progress, contribute to work-package and project reports, and present project and development results in project meetings, working-group seminars, and discussions with research and industry partners.
The position offers an interdisciplinary research environment combining environmental engineering, process engineering, sustainability assessment, environmental analytics, biotechnology, and chemical-industry collaboration. The researcher will contribute to scientific publications and project-related results reports while working with partners across research and industry.
