Research Associate in Nanomaterials Characterization and Plant Tissue Translocation McGill University in Canada

McGill University’s Ghoshal Lab is seeking a Research Associate in the Department of Civil Engineering to study the characterization, performance, and behavior of nanomaterials used as foliar nanofertilizers. The project examines how nanomaterials move through and transform within plant tissues after foliar application. The researcher will assess the efficacy of nanofertilizers against industry-relevant current treatments using model crop plants and their commercial equivalents. The work combine...

Umeå University in Sweden is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position in Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry. The project focuses on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) , especially the recovery of carbon and organic material from HTC filtrates. The successful candidate will study how self-generated carbon (SGC) forms in process water and what filtrate chemistry controls its formation. The work sits within the RE-FIL project, which aims to turn HTC filtrate from a waste stream ...
