USDA-ARS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bio-Based Materials from Lignin U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in United States

This postdoctoral fellowship is based with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, and centers on chemistry-driven research to develop value-added products from low-value biomass. The project looks at plant and animal residues as well as other waste streams such as food waste and municipal waste, with an emphasis on extracting, modifying, and characterizing biomass-derived materials and their derivatives. Working under mentor Majher Sarker , the fellow will help identif...

The National Laboratory of the Rockies is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher in Reaction Engineering for Biorefining in Golden, Colorado, United States. The researcher will join the RRES Center’s Chemical Catalysis and Reaction Engineering group. The project focuses on reaction engineering for biomass fractionation into polysaccharide-rich pulps and lignin- and extractives-rich oils. The goal is to develop cost-effective process technologies, potentially using existing or retrofitted kr...
